Your employees may need to become more inventive about what constitutes full-time employment and plan some downtime. Some companies encourage workers to contribute time and energy to community and nonprofit work. This helps employees divert attention from their own problems and redirects their productive energy to do something good for someone else. This benefits companies because workers return refreshed, and the community also benefits. Yet the biggest reward goes to employees who discover this is also a great time to get back to basics of life.
Some companies enforce time off during slack periods.
This can help workers learn to simplify their lives. It can serve as a daily reminder to employees to consider what is really important. Workers need to strengthen other emotional connections that are not job related, and to take good care of their bodies by getting enough physical exercise. In your own life, learn to enjoy the small things. And likewise, when you return to work, you will be better able to realize the many extraneous demands on you that inhibit your best work.
