This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI. The boundaries between our personal and work lives have become blurred. Two out of three Americans report working during vacation, which can have negative consequences on their health and wellness, as well as their overall performance. In the post pandemic work life, here is how you can help your workforce disconnect and avoid working while on vacation. First, publish a post-pandemic vacation policy. Explicitly state that employees are expected to completely disconnect while taking PTO. Let employees know that they are not expected to attend organizational meetings and their inboxes should have an appropriate out of office message, so that they can unplug and come back refreshed.  Second, train managers to facilitate time off. Train managers to balance schedules and reshuffle duties to help employees leave work behind during vacation. Managers have to communicate to employees that their work will be covered so they don’t feel compelled to work during their time off. Lastly, promote a culture of mental wellness. Taking a break from work after a traumatic pandemic year is essential for mental recovery. Assure employees that they should not feel guilty for taking vacation time and that it’s important for their wellbeing to disconnect and focus on themselves and their families.  This concludes your HR News Flash.
