Employees' mental health is a valuable asset to the company. The pressure and burden of office work can contribute to employee stress. Meanwhile, ongoing stress that is not managed properly can lead to decreased productivity in employees.

 

How to maintain the physical and mental health of office workers

Working requires a balance between work and personal life. The balance between work and career allows employees to maximize their potential while maintaining a harmonious personal life. With this balance, employees can give their best at work without jeopardizing their health or personal happiness.

Signs you can achieve work-life balance include:

  • You do not feel that your work demands and personal obligations are in conflict
  • Meeting deadlines at work without having to work overtime
  • Getting enough sleep at night and eating a nutritious, balanced diet
  • Do not spend weekends dreading Monday
  • Have enough time to relax and enjoy hobbies
  • Not worrying about work when you're not at work
  • You feel productive at work

 

Work-life balance has an impact on both the physical and mental health of employees. Some strategies for achieving work-life balance and maintaining mental health include the following:

1. Set clear boundaries between your work and personal life

Workers frequently struggle to distinguish between their professional and personal lives. For example, when working, you may be preoccupied with personal issues, or vice versa. As a result, you are overburdened by the demands of both tasks.

Healthy plans and routines can help you establish boundaries between your personal and professional lives. Making healthy plans and morning routines, such as getting up on time, eating breakfast, and exercising before heading to the office, allows you to work with a clear mind and focus.

When working, try to focus solely on office business and avoid combining it with personal business, and vice versa. If there is no urgent business, avoid working outside of working hours; conversely, do not work on personal or business matters outside of the office during working hours.

2. Prioritize your work

When working, you must prioritize what needs to be done. Begin by completing urgent and important tasks, followed by less urgent tasks. Prioritizing allows you to focus your energy, time, and mind on tasks that must be completed immediately.

3. Take time to rest

To avoid burnout, you must know when to take a break or leave. Taking a break allows you to regain energy and return to work at your peak performance. You can use your time off to go on a vacation or to do other things you've always wanted to do but haven't had the time for.

4. Practice self-care

While your work is important, you should also prioritize your mental and physical health. Eat healthily, exercise regularly, stay up late, and avoid alcohol. In your spare time, pursue hobbies and activities that you enjoy.

If you are sick, take time off to rest and consult a doctor. If work pressure begins to stress you out, manage your stress effectively so that the stress you experience can be properly controlled. Communicate your problems with coworkers or superiors to get the best solution.

 

Building a career is equally important as maintaining a healthy personal life. If you are having problems at work, talk to your coworkers or see a psychologist or psychiatrist.

If you need medical advice or consultation, you can either visit a doctor or make use of the consultation features that are available in the Ai Care application by downloading the Ai Care application from the App Store or Play Store.
