You don't want your most valuable team members to start looking for work elsewhere or to experience a decline in quality of work because of burnout, so it's crucial you make sure your staff isn't overworking themselves. Try these tips to help:
- Reward based on merit: One of the biggest causes of burnout is employees feeling as if their contributions are not being recognized. Make sure to provide specific praise for staff members who go the extra mile and do things well. You may also want to ensure you have a way to measure performance and can promote based on merit so workers feel their extra efforts have tangible benefits.
- Let top employees focus on tasks they do best: Your most skilled employees likely have a specific set of tasks that add the most value to the company. If that's the case, take everything else off their plate and let them spend the bulk of their time doing the things that most benefit your business.
- Set guidelines for working hours and vacations: Many employees don't take a vacation because they want to be seen as valuable team players, and many work long hours because they think it's what they need to do to get ahead. Set policies to ensure people take enough time off. They'll be much more productive when they come back.
