Set clear boundaries at work

Many people enjoy the benefits of working from home and having more flexibility. But there is also a downside: boundaries between work and private life are blurring. As a result, many employees feel extra pressure, partly due to the expectation that they should always be available online.

Setting clear boundaries gives you greater peace of mind and focus, whilst respecting each other’s time and work rhythm. You and your colleagues get space to recharge and work more effectively.

What can you do?

  • Turn off your notifications to get more calm and focus.
  • Respect each other’s work rhythms. Not everything needs to be done straight away.
  • Be clear about when you’re available, and be mindful of your colleagues’ schedules.
