Foster an Open Work Environment
As the decision maker in your organization, you have a lot of say in the culture. One of the ways you can promote a healthy culture while preventing employee burnout is by fostering an open work environment. By fostering an open work environment, it may help in encouraging employees tell you when they feel overwhelmed with work assignments. By keeping the lines of communication open, employees may not feel as intimidated letting you know they’re feeling overwhelmed, which will help them feel less burned out.
Promote (and Enforce) a Work-Life Balance
Having a work-life balance is great for you and your employees. It can be a big part of your workplace culture, which can help in recruiting new employees down the line. But if you say you promote a healthy work-life balance, follow through and enforce the work-life balance. By expecting employees to stay “on” all the time while saying you promote a healthy work-life can lead to employee burnout. Instead, try to keep all calls related to work during work hours and try not to call or message employees after hours.
