Do you find you can never escape the demands of the office? Is work beginning to interfere with personal time with family and friends? Do you find no matter how much time you put in at work very little gets accomplished? Well, you are not alone. According to a new survey, ninety-one percent of employed Americans do work-related things on personal time.
In an interview with WTOP News Radio, Adam Luecking, CEO of Clear Impact, discusses the key ingredients in maintaining workplace productivity and how you can avoid the pitfalls of office burnout. Luecking gives three important factors to achieving a productive workplace – clear goals, practical measurements and discretion to make decisions.
“I strongly believe that people should put in 40 hours a week and that’s it. People who tend to overwork tend to live unbalanced lives. And if you don’t live a balanced life you can’t come in with a fresh mind everyday or contribute in ways that are most productive,” says Luecking. “How the manager sets up the playing field dictates how the people will play. I also believe that once you put people in their positions you need give them the ability to perform at their best.”
