It's too easy to burn out your team with things that don't matter

Check out this article in Harvard Business Review:

I was struck by one powerful disconnect that came up over and over again: At virtually every organization, everyone interviewed said that work-life balance — the ability to work effectively and have time for a fulfilling and healthy life outside of work — is a core value of the organization. And yet, every organization […] struggles to live that value. Emails can fly at all hours. Work spills into nights, weekends, vacations, hospital waiting rooms, and family celebrations. People are feeling burned out. And yet despite this, many workers very publicly wear this overworked, overly busy work martyrdom like a badge of honor.

Maintaining the proper work-life balance is essential for preventing burnout. Yet, we don’t realize it when our team members have personal life issues and we don’t realize we have habits that increase work overflowing into personal lives.

Great managers have a super power: they can tell when someone is off their game. But for everyone else, how do you know when someone is starting to burn out?

We created a tool to do just that: Work Climate. It’s free to get a baseline and see how your people are really doing.
