How can you encourage team members to take breaks and prioritize self-care without compromising productivity?

In topics like this, it is always important to lead. By example, if as an individual you’re sitting in the same chair for seven hours, the employees would also create a habit of just sitting at a place to be a role model. Try to take a break after every 30 to 40 minutes, hydrate yourself eat some fresh fruits and also have some chitchat breaks where you can just be yourself and talk to your colleagues. This would not only make you as a role model but would also help you to improve your efficiency for working. Take care of yourself, and you will be a contributor of health and well-being in your culture .

I have sometimes found that walking away from a problem after spend hours on it helps. I would encourage team members to do the same as we all need a recharge. It is great for our mental health and really does help with our stress levels. A parent wakes up with their child not feeling 100%. If they can work from home then allow this, the business will benefit in the long term from this little break.

Stepping away from the desk or task at hand is good, however, a complete change of mindset and focus replenishes the creative juices. If space permits get the team to decide on little daily challenges such as 10-minute Yoga/exercises that can be performed easily in daily attire. A challenge a day keeps the stress at bay.

A mi punto de vista, considero en que uno debe promover en crear espacios lisos, donde los colaboradores puedan desconectarse del trabajo por unos minutos. Estos espacios pueden ser entre otros para que los colaboradores puedan: - Conversar libremente sobre diferentes temas entre ellos, - Hacer fluir su creatividad a través de dibujos, juegos o música, - Recrearse a través de la lectura, Logrando así que los colaboradores puedan distraer sus mentes, descargar esas energías que los impiden obrar, lo cual hará que su potencia de obrar aumente y también su grado de compromiso para con sus tareas y objetivos de la empresa.

Look you earned it. You need it and take the time you earned and stop stressing. Life goes on. Work goes on. You have to make your like a priority too or it will pass you by

When possible, remove or set do not disturb settings on your phone apps that are related to work. Leadership: Try not to send out emails or messages outside of the typical working hours of your team unless it is an emergency and immediate response is needed. In prior jobs, I have seen very responsive teams that would jump into a troubleshooting session late or on weekends (to resolve a true emergency) lose all sense of urgency because someone in management started sending out random low- priority/non-emergency messages during off hours. It turns into a boy who cries wolf situation. You end up training your employees to ignore off-time messaging completely until the next day.

I’ve found that breaks can actually boost productivity. Sometimes, when I’m struggling with a certain issue in front of my screen, it can actually help my brain work through a solution if I get up and walk around- especially if I can go outside for a brief time. Taking breaks can allow your brain to rest and refresh, allowing you to tackle things with renewed energy and sometimes from a different angle.
