\nWhen you work and live in the same place, it can be challenging to maintain a separation between your personal and professional life. Your home becomes your office and vice versa. Unplugging has become more challenging than ever. Research shows remote workers log an average of four more hours per week than their on-site counterparts, ultimately leading to burnout and poor mental health.<\/p>\n
\nIn an office setting, you probably take breaks throughout the day to take a walk, eat lunch, get a coffee, or chat with colleagues. When you\u2019re at home, you may just remain glued to your computer or work the entire day. Set an alarm to take breaks throughout the day at home and in the office so you get into a similar routine.<\/p>\n
\nIn the era of Zoom meetings, everyone is spending more time on computers or technology in general than ever before. Aside from normal time spent on devices like phones, computers, and tablets, this added screen time can be detrimental to your vision. Here are a few ways to combat this:
\n\u25cf Shift out of full screen views to reduce the size of the window relative to your monitor. Also, keep your screens on a lower brightness setting.
\n\u25cf On Zoom calls, hide your self-view or opt for camera off options entirely.
\n\u25cf Use an external keyboard or mouse so you can set your screen up farther away from your face.
\n\u25cf Opt for phone calls when possible.<\/p>\n
\nStep challenges, walking groups, and fitness contests are popular among offices and can be translated to remote work environments too. Promoting healthy activities and offering incentives like an extra vacation day to the winner can have a ripple effect on overall wellness and productivity in your employees.<\/p>\n
\n\u25cf Create an office intramural sports team.
\n\u25cf Offer group fitness classes for days employees are in office.
\n\u25cf Encourage walking breaks throughout the day.
\n\u25cf Offer reimbursement for gym memberships and fitness classes or equipment.<\/p>\n
\nWith remote work, \u201cmeeting overload\u201d has become a common culprit of burnout. Before you hit send on an invite, be sure you\u2019re only inviting those who truly need to be present and make the meeting as efficient as possible.<\/p>\n
