Flexible Work Schedules & arrange- ments Consider offering a flexible work schedule that allows employees to maximize exposure to natural light during daylight hours. If possible, offer employees affected by SAD to work remotely, so they can perform their tasks in comfortable environments and while at peak energy levels. This is a win-win for the business and the employee as a happier and healthier employee usually leads to more satisfied customers.
Well-lit Workspaces in Winter Well let’s be honest you should always have a well-lit workspace, but it is important to let in as much natural light as possible during the winter months. For your remote workers, encourage them to work in places with access to natural light, so I room with windows. Encourage Breaks & Exercise We put this in here, but this should be done all year long. Regular breaks and exercises prevent short and long- term employee burnout. Encourage
your staff to take short walks outside or breaks to stretch and relax. Organize Social Events Organizing company social and team-building events are extremely important to help employees stay connected. If you have an office-based or hybrid team, social outings can be a good way to boost morale and help your staff bond. For remote workers, you can schedule virtual events and regular one-on-one check-ins. This will help keep them engaged at work and feel connected to the team.
Wishing you all the best during this Holiday Season
