The last year has
been challenging for everyone. For your team members, the sudden transition to
working from home can mean changes that affect their entire household. Working from
home can mean your team members are coping with their workload, online school if
they have children, restlessness, and general household chaos. Here are five simple
ways to help your team members avoid – or overcome – work from home fatigue.
- Encourage
your team to limit distractions as much as possible, while recognizing that this
isn’t always possible in a family home. - In the
office, team members take lunch and coffee breaks. Remind your team of the
importance of taking regular breaks even when working in their home office. - Urge team
members to host virtual get togethers. Connecting with the people they used to
see every day can help foster workplace friendships and team camaraderie. - Remind your
team of the importance of creating a comfortable workspace – and of placing
your company’s marketing and branding materials in their regular sightline. - Just like
your team should take breaks during the workday, they should also remember to
take days off, which can be tricky when your office is so easily accessible.
Work from home
fatigue can be caused by limited social interaction, and online meeting frustration,
overwhelm. Its effect can also be minimized with these helpful techniques.
