Facing Tremendous stress from working at home? 3 Strategies to ovecome it now!

Esther



In the continuously evolving landscape of modern workplaces, the shift toward remote and hybrid work models has highlighted the importance of mental health and well-being. By enjoying the benefits of remote work, such as increased work freedom and reduced commuting time, many employees and multinational corporations (MNCs) are actively adapting to this new normal. However, this transition also brings new challenges, especially in creating a supportive environment for remote employees. Facing these challenges, adopting effective strategies to ensure a resilient and thriving workforce becomes particularly crucial.


Understanding the New Work Dynamics


The transition to remote work blurs the boundaries between personal and professional life, often leading to increased employee stress, isolation, and job burnout. Facing these issues, adopting a holistic approach to well-being—covering physical, psychological, and social aspects—is particularly important. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines well-being as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." In the context of remote work, this comprehensive view of well-being is crucial as employees may face various challenges that affect their overall health.


3 Strategies to Overcome the Psychological Challenges of Remote Work


  1. Set and Stick to a Daily Routine: Establishing a stable schedule for work and rest helps to delineate the boundaries between work and personal life, reducing stress and burnout during work.

2. Create Physical and Digital Boundaries: Designate a specific work area at home and, if possible, keep it separate from living areas to help psychologically separate work and rest spaces. Additionally, use technological tools such as email filters and notification settings to help reduce work interruptions outside of work hours.


3. Stay Connected with Colleagues: Interpersonal interaction is very important, both during and outside of work, so try to arrange video calls or phone calls instead of sending emails. If you find it difficult to work from home, express your situation to colleagues or supervisors. Remember, your colleagues may be feeling the same way. Ask about their well-being and see how you can support each other.
