Set an example for your team

1 thing you can do immediately to reduce burnout on your team.

Stop emailing and texting after work hours.

It’s controversial.

I know.

You need to get things done.

So you email.

Or text.

Or slack.

It’s one thing.

But you just put the burden on someone else.

Your team member who is putting young children to bed.

Or is trying to find space to be creative or workout.

Or is spending time with an ailing parent.

If you are choosing to work after-hours, use schedule send to delay delivery to the next morning.

Employees can only be their best at work if they have time for rest and personal time.

Fostering a healthier work-life balance for your team benefits everyone.
