As a manager, it is imperative to make sure your employees have a healthy work-life balance, which will improve productivity and lower the rates of burnout, according to the Harvard Business Review.
Listed below are five tips to help your team achieve a work-life balance.
1. Make sure to communicate that organizational success is a marathon and not a sprint, and while there will always be time-sensitive issues to address, ultimately the team is at its most productive when people take enough time to decompress.
2. Hire enough staff to make sure people can take a day off without putting the entire team's goals in jeopardy.
3. Remind people that everyone is human and that you have reasonable expectations and don't want people to work past their limitations.
4. Redistribute work evenly and don't underestimate what your workers are capable of. Don't over-burden high-performing workers with too many responsibilities. Instead, trust other team members to handle the work.
5. Set boundaries and stick to them, which will help your own work-life balance and also lead by example.
