Addicted to Work? How it Affects the Workplace and Your Employees

While you might think the way you feel about work only affects you, your attitude and way of working has an impact on every single employee you hire for Orlando jobs. These longer work days can impact their family life, health, social relationships, and even the way they act in the workplace.

According to a recent survey of workers who claimed to have a work-addicted employer,

• 22 percent stated they did not have time to make an effort in personal relationships because they were always working.
• 12 percent stated their workload was causing friction between them and their family members.
• 27 percent have gone without a sick day or personal day in the last year.
• 26 percent experienced health problems because their jobs in Orlando caused them so much stress.

How to Solve the Problem

When you find you or your employees are neglecting to spend time with family, working from the time you get out bed until the time you climb back in, missing your children’s soccer games, or failing to spend time at the gym, consider these tips.

• Personal Time- When it comes to your Tampa Bay jobs, you are a pro at scheduling events and business meetings, so use those skills in your personal life. Schedule time for yourself, time for your family, and time for your friends. Then stick to that schedule.

• Delegate- If someone else can do it (and most of the time, they can,) let them.

• Get Rid of the E-leash- In almost every circumstance, that instant message, text, or email can wait. When you are off the clock, stay off the computer, phone, or any other electronic device. If you need to, turn them off while you are at home.

• Talk it Through- Sit down with your employees and discuss the changes you are going to be making to your work habits and theirs. Ask them what they miss most about working regular hours and encourage them to take the same steps you are.

• Hire More Staff- If reducing the number of hours you work each week seems impossible, the problem might be too few employees. If this is the case, contact a Bradenton employment agency as quickly as possible.
