Last week, I spoke on a podcast (dropping soon) about sports + creativity + burnout. It’s an important topic to me as a people manager.
One trend I’ve noticed is that younger people are often better about setting boundaries and creating work/life balance. I find that awesome, and I’ve learned so much from my Gen Z employees.
That said, to see real change in the sports industry, we need institutional change and advocates at the top. If you’re in a position of power, how can you better advocate for your employees’ mental health?
There is a myriad of ways that change can be made at a company- or industry-wide level. A few ways (not inclusive) that I’ve been brainstorming:
Teams should be given more budget for more headcount so that people can take more time off.
Managers should not appear online after hours so that they don’t set an unfair precedent for their employees.
Companies should provide more mental health resources for all employees.
Stop expecting lower-level employees to always be able to see signs of burnout. Place more responsibility on people managers and people teams; put out better processes to spot signs of burnout.
How are you feeling about the sports industry this week? |
Programming note: Next week is a tough personal day for me, so I’ll most likely take the week off from this newsletter.
