At the turn of the year, many managers are faced with the challenge of balancing professional and private demands. The annual financial statements, planning for the new year and, at the same time, the private stress of Christmas preparations and family celebrations can be a burden.
In these stressful times, experts from IBG warn of the danger of neglecting one's own mental and physical health. Managers in particular bear a great deal of responsibility, as their own resilience has a direct influence on the well-being and motivation of their employees.
To make the turn of the year less stressful, the experts recommend several strategies: First, it is important to set priorities and delegate tasks. Regular time outs and clear communication with team and family are just as important as reflection and gratitude. A digital detox, in which times without emails and digital meetings are consciously planned, as well as seeking external support when needed, can also help to manage stress.
With these measures, managers can not only enjoy a relaxing Christmas season, but also start the new year strengthened. IBG GmbH, Austria's largest management consultancy in the field of corporate health management, offers support for burnout prevention and resilience building.
