I’ve been researching the impact of an ‘always-on’ work culture on employee health and productivity. There’s a strong link between perpetual connectivity and increased stress levels, which can lead to burnout. Has anyone here successfully implemented strategies to mitigate this in their workplaces?

At our company, we introduced ‘digital detox’ days where employees are encouraged to unplug. We’ve seen a 20% increase in reported job satisfaction and a 15% decrease in stress-related sick days. It’s all about balancing productivity with well-being.

I’m curious about the role leadership plays in setting boundaries. In my experience, the tone at the top is crucial. Leaders who model healthy working hours make it easier for employees to follow suit. Anyone have insights or examples of leadership-driven change?

As a freelancer, the ‘always-on’ culture can be even more pervasive. I’ve set specific hours for client communications and use tools to manage expectations. It’s helped maintain my mental health and sustain my business. How do other solopreneurs manage this?

We’ve adopted a ‘results-only work environment’ (ROWE) approach. It emphasizes outcomes over hours spent logged in. It’s not perfect, but it reduces the need to be constantly online. Has anyone else tried ROWE, and what were your results?
