No expert session on work life these days would be complete without addressing employee burnout.
Tips to reduce demands on workers, give people more choices, and let them know help is available.
Try to lighten the load on people, especially figuring out what their most stressful tasks are, and trying to make sure they’re not overburdened with those.
We can’t always eliminate the demands of their job altogether, but we can give more choices and discretion about how to manage them…Support is the biggest part right now…we need compassionate leadership that takes action to alleviate other people’s pain
Worker importance in hybrid workplace
That organizations need to balance employee autonomy, cultural cohesion, and workforce productivity, the rising importance of people called “culture carriers”.
Culture carriers are the people who disproportionately exemplify the values and norms of a team or an organization…they’ve become especially critical in a hybrid world where we can’t all be in the same room at the same time.
Make sure they’re visible in these critical moments where culture is shaped during recruiting and onboarding [and] in all hands meetings.
I want people to see them so that they can watch them in action…hear their stories [and] learn the values and norms by osmosis.

Thank you ….Fewer work hours boost productivity
If you could do just one thing to change work for good, it would be to upend the quantity over quality workplace ethic.
Do you want to add a word or two?
I would have people work less…I know of no evidence that people are more productive in eight unfocused, distracted hours a day than they could be in six highly concentrated hours a day.
Experiments show that if people know they can earn that fifth day off and turn it into a four day week, they find lots of ways to be more efficient and effective, and to work smarter, as well as more creatively
Your Comments …..
Working fewer hours doesn’t necessarily equate to a reduction in productivity.
Working conditions are the physical and psychological conditions that workers are exposed to while working.
Conditions in a workplace can encompass everything from the working environment to an employee’s terms and conditions of employment.
In turn, working conditions can significantly impact employees’ health and safety, mental well-being and productivity, and this can directly affect an employer’s bottom line.
