No more burnout days

No more burnout days

Break your Burnout with Breaks during a long day of work. Working long hours is really frustrating, and that reduces engagement. I insist that HR Professionals implement a few tips based on research findings.
(Research done by Zhanna Lyubkh and Duygu Biricik Gulseren, along with their colleagues, by analyzing around 80 studies.)
 
1. Taking short breaks throughout the day increases productivity and well-being.
2. Microbreaks in the morning and relatively long breaks in the afternoon are found effective.
3. Breaks should relax and recharge instead of draining more.
4. Taking breaks in the outdoors in the greens recharges better than a break on the desk.
5. Physical activity like mild exercises and walking is more effective.
6. Avoid browsing social media during breaks. That causes emotional exhaustion.
7. Spending break time with a funny companion or a pet is effective.
8. HR Managers can recommend 'Wellness Moments' like mock safety drills to the top management.
9. Educate your employees to take breaks by themselves once every 90 minutes. Recommended: 5 minutes of breaks in the morning and 10 minutes of breaks in the afternoon.
 
I recommend the employees walk down to the restrooms, watch their faces in the mirror, and wash their faces once every 90 minutes.
