. Ballard says that when employers do make an effort, job satisfaction and motivation increase and stress and turnover diminish. “Employers really need to address this issue because, one, it’s the right thing to do to help support people,” he says, “but, two, it’s a good business strategy as well.”
He recommends having an employee assistance program that can be used anonymously and encouraging its utilization. He points out that everyone deals with big personal challenges, including financial, relationship, and caregiving stresses. Being able to handle such matters helps everyone perform at their best.
But what should a person do on their time off? They need to be not even thinking about work, Ballard says. That may mean disconnecting and doing a digital detox. They need to engage in relaxing activities, perhaps yoga or sports. They need to do things that not only relax but also stimulate them. “When we get stressed out, when we’re struggling with things, it’s really easy for those types of activities to go out the window, and we don’t have time to do them anymore,” he says.
