When it comes to workplace stress, one of the root causes is feeling overburdened. This can manifest physically, mentally, and/or emotionally. When our capacity feels stretched or even taken advantage of, it can have a serious impact on the way we show up at work and our overall job effectiveness. But happens if we take control of our time, our energy, and our personal space at work? Multiple research studies have found that employees who have clear boundaries between their work and personal lives, were less likely to think about work outside of work and more likely to stay at the organization. When we intentionally set and maintain boundaries for ourselves and as a team, we create a more inclusive, human-centered work environment.
