Bringing Business Wellness Into the Workplace - Creating a Work Life Balance
*This blog was originally written for Renaissance Strategy. ---------------------------------------- Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep. Does this process sound all too familiar? As humans, we are wired to work. Overworking is praised. Working into burnout means you are doing something right. Right? And when we lose our job, we sometimes feel hopeless because work is what we do. Losing two jobs during COVID was heartbreaking for me and I was out of work for 10 months. I’m sure most of you can relate to losing a job, working less, and fighting for unemployment. So, when I got a full-time job in October of last year, I did what I was supposed to do. I became super focused, constantly worked, worked overtime, and did everything I could to keep my job. Getting a raise after six months (that I didn't have to ask for) pushed me even more into work mode. Until I got burned out - which is ironic because the company I work for really stresses work/life balance. I had to learn the hard way.
