Here's how you can find support systems to overcome burnout in automotive manufacturing.

This ability to say “no” when someone asks for your help is a difficult one to learn, especially if you have a personal, albeit work, relationship with the person asking. Saying no can, at times, add tension between co-workers. As employees we need these personal relationships to thrive as having friends in work makes for a happier environment for all. So my approach to this where there’s a request that would put an unexpected demand on an individual or team is to rephrase the negative to a positive. Don’t say “NO” - say “YES, but…” Then list the things that doing that task will have an effect on backed with facts. Eg “Yes, I can make a design change, but it means my drawing will be late.” As the asker what would you rather hear?

Muitas vezes nem se conhecem todos os programas oferecidos ou convenios que facilitariam atividades de fim de semana extensivos aos familiares. As preocupações de um trabalhador vão além do trabalho e quando este se vê acolhido por planos que inclusão aos seus entes, se torna prazeroso e necessário seu trabalho apesar de intenso.

Remember the phrase “we work to live, not live to work” so having that time and hobbies outside of the workplace is important to ensure both a happy work and home environment. The one thing we all don’t have on the earth is “enough time” so use it wisely. We tend to learn that lesson daily late in life. Remember the richest person on earth is not the one with the most money in the bank”

These are the so called self-disciplined type of environments professional and personal relationships…informal might trump formal processes. Contracts, deals by hand shake (in the flesh) face to face, with peers, leaderships, executive level support pipelines (all levels) to maintain visual on ~vs~ off stage.! And talk about realities in self-care. Through support (just mine, experience in hospital operations) but also understanding the financial management and leadership turn over…people are scared.

Recentemente estive em uma rotina de trabalho onde cumpria todas as minhas tarefas de rotina dentro de meu horário de trabalho, minha orientadora direta cobrava as vezes até as 22:00 ou aos finais de semana, tarefas além das que já fazia. O sistema da empresa já orientava ações de cursos e formação pessoal exaustivas como forma de cumprir metas. Apesar de todo empenho, nas avaliações anuais nunca eramos cotados como suficientes. Essas ações sufocava tecnicamente como se fosse falar..... Trabalhe simplesmente, cumpra suas obrigações e não espere nada em troca. Isso sim era exauativo. A falta de planejamento profissional e pessoal era o que mais comprometia o engajamento produtivo e o estresse evidenciava em todos.
