"Töissä kalenteri täyttyy helposti palavereista ja joskus tuntuu, että töitä pitäisi jatkaa myöhälle iltaan niin, että kaiken saisi tehtyä…" Kuulostaako tutulta? Työn ja vapaa-ajan tasapaino ovat avain hyvinvointiin. Mitä se tarkoittaa käytännössä? Lue alta Ollin kokemuksia ⬇️ "Töissä kalenteri täyttyy helposti palavereista ja joskus tuntuu, että töitä pitäisi jatkaa myöhälle iltaan niin, että kaiken saisi tehtyä. Ainakaan omasta kokemuksesta se ei kuitenkaan usein kannata, vaan on parempi sulkea läppäri, lähteä esimerkiksi ulos liikkumaan ja jatkaa seuraavana päivänä virkeämpänä. Pitkälle venyvät työpäivät heikentävät ainakin omaa työtehokkuuttani varsinkin, jos työpäivien venymisestä tulee tapa eikä poikkeus.  Nykyisessä tiimissäni tuntuu, että vapaa-ajan tärkeys huomioidaan hyvin. Tärkeimpinä työelämän joustoina näen etätyön mahdollisuuden ja liukuvat työajat, jotka auttavat oman arjen rytmittämisessä. Itse vietän osan vapaa-ajastani erilaisissa urheilutapahtumissa, ja hyvät etätyökäytännöt helpottavatkin tapahtumiin lähtemistä huomattavasti, kun muilla paikkakunnilla oleviin kisoihin voi siirtyä jo edellisenä iltana. Työnantaja myös kannustaa käymään erilaisissa liikuntatapahtumissa tarjoamalla henkilöstölle niihin liittyviä etuja." Lisää tarinoita pääset lukemaan linkin kautta: https://to.abb/11fOyt41
