Why You Should Implement Summer Hours to Increase Employee Engagement

Have you ever considered implementing summer hours for your employees? If you haven’t, there might be some real advantages you’re missing out on.

Burnout is becoming a real problem for a lot of employees, and it’s much better that you get ahead of it instead of scrambling at the last minute when your productivity suddenly starts to drop.

Benefits of summer hours

– Improved flexibility for employees

– Boost company morale

– Summer Fridays boost productivity

– Avoid burnout and stress overload

How to implement summer hours in your workplace

The typical time frame for summer hours is between Memorial Day and Labour Day. While you can choose to incorporate them however you want, most companies take part in “summer Fridays.” You can allow employees to take a half-day every Friday (or every other Friday depending on the nature of your company). The point is, you’re showing employees that you value them enough to give them more time to enjoy themselves outside of work—and increasing efficiency at the same time.

Questions for leaders

1. Do you currently have a policy for summer hours? If not, what makes you hesitate to implement them?

2. What do you do to help prevent employees from experiencing burnout?

If you want to start implementing mental health support strategies in the workplace, that’s great! But before you can do that, you need to make sure you know exactly where you stand. This is the time to reflect on current practices and do what you can to measure employee engagement.

How to measure employee engagement:

· Employee engagement surveys

· Direct indicators of engagement

· One on one meetings with employees

· Talent review metrics

· Goal tracking

· Pulse surveys

· Employee lifecycle surveys

When you put things in place to measure employee engagement, you’re going to gain valuable metrics to make improvements across your business. When you can identify strengths and challenges, you’ll gain insight into what needs to change to support mental health in the workplace. Not only will you develop a greater sense of trust with your employees, but your company culture stands to improve from the moment you begin to take action.

Questions for leaders:

What are you currently doing to measure employee engagement?

What do you think is the most effective tool for measuring employee engagement and mental health?

Mental Health Strategy Series: The Role of Mental Health in the Workplace

There’s no denying that mental health and employee engagement are directly related. Things like stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout can make engagement feel impossible, even if an employee has the best intentions.

Your employees might recognize that there is an opportunity in front of them but if they’re struggling with their mental health, they need extra support to remain engaged. In fact, according to a Public Health Agency of Canada’s Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health, found that 30% of disability claims are related to mental health, so taking action to safeguard your employees’ wellness is more important than ever.

You are much more likely to retain your workforce and see improved signs of employee engagement when you place a priority on mental health support in the workplace.

Questions for leaders:

–Are you noticing any signs of burnout or stress among your employees?

–Are you potentially feeling it yourself?

–Do you have any mental health support systems in place?
