No matter what the symptoms are, after two years of ups and downs, it\u2019s completely normal for your employees to be feeling this way.\n\nAnd it\u2019s important you provide resources and initiatives that support your team wherever possible until we bid farewell to the Covid-19 pandemic.\n<h2>8 Ways To Help Employees Tackle Covid Burnout<\/h2>\nThe last few years have been nothing short of challenging.\n\nNo matter where you live, what you do for a living or how old you are, you would have experienced significant stress that sent your world into a spin.\n\nWhether you felt it early on, or it\u2019s all starting to catch up with you now, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve experienced Covid burnout in some shape or form.\n<h2>How can you help your employees tackle Covid burnout symptoms?<\/h2>\nCovid burnout isn&#8217;t fun for anyone, but there are a couple of things you can do to help your employees who are navigating the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/7-ways-to-stay-connected-self-isolation\/\">choppy waters of the pandemic<\/a> \u2013\u00a0and we\u2019re here to tell you how.\n<h3>1. Offer an employee assistance program (EAP)<\/h3>\nAn employee assistance program is a service that you, as an employer, can use to provide support for your team&#8217;s mental health and wellbeing.\n\nIt allows employees to access health care professionals via confidential counselling services when they need it most.\n\nWith the situation that we\u2019re currently faced with, providing your employees with access to an EAP is one helpful way you can support their mental wellbeing through this challenging time.\n\nYou can find more information on supporting your team with an EAP throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with 91±¬ΑΟ\u2019s EAP service.\n\nAlternatively, if you\u2019re unable to provide this service, encourage your team to seek the help of health professionals.\n<h3>2. Provide a day of pandemic leave<\/h3>\nIf budget allows, consider offering an extra day of paid leave to your employees.\n\nThis way, they can spend it doing something they enjoy or with their family members, allowing them to switch off from work and ease stress.\n\nAt the end of the day, everyone loves a day off, and providing it at a time when it\u2019s needed most will mean the world to your team.\n<h3>3. Encourage your team to limit their time watching covid-related news<\/h3>\nFor the last two years, the 6 pm news and social media have been a rolling feed of public health updates, and we\u2019re all emotionally exhausted.\n\nIt can be easy to get caught up in the news rut, so actively encourage your team to limit their time-consuming covid-related news and get outside. You\u2019ll all feel better about it!\n<h3>4. Encourage your team to mix up their schedule<\/h3>\nHumans spend about one-third of their lives at work. That\u2019s over 90,000 hours.\n\nPandemic or not, it can be easy to get stuck in our ways both in the workplace and in our home life. While many of us love routine, shaking things up can help us reset and refresh.\n\nWhen we\u2019re at work, it\u2019s no different. If it permits, allow your team to work different days or times. And while working from home, go for a walk before work instead of after work.\n\nIt\u2019s small changes like this that can get us out of that routine rut.\n<h3>5. Remind your team that annual leave is there for a reason<\/h3>\nIn Australia, employees are entitled to 4 weeks of annual leave.\n\nAnd while international travel at the moment is a bit tricky compared to pre-pandemic days, interstate travel is 100% on the cards and easy to organise.\n\nSome time off spent exploring a new location could be just what your employees need to re-energise and help reduce the effects of Covid burnout.\n<h3>6. Embrace flexible working and mean it<\/h3>\nWe know that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/flexible-working-policy-template\/\">flexible working is the future<\/a>. Empowering your team with the opportunity to choose where and when they work best can do wonders for boosting mental wellbeing and tackling that covid burnout.\n\nWe all know that there\u2019s more to life than the 9-5 grind, and the pandemic has allowed us to reshift our focus to what matters most.\n\nSpending time with your family, and friends and prioritising activities you enjoy can give you a great sense of fulfilment, and it\u2019s important that you, as an employer, recognise this.\n\nRemember, small changes like these are free yet have a huge impact on your team and their mental health.\n<h3>7. Provide helpful resources to support good mental health<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re unable to provide your employees with an Employee Assistance Program due to budget restrictions, why not send them suggestions for apps they can download?\n\nPopular apps like Calm and HeadSpace are a great way to unwind at the end of the day and can really help switch off from work.\n\nThey\u2019re effective, easy for beginners, and there are so many on the app store to choose from.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/mental-health-know-the-signs-poster\/\">Download our \u2018know the signs of burnout\u2019 poster here<\/a>.\n<h3>8. Ensure a healthy work-life balance for your team<\/h3>\nWe should never underestimate the importance of having a healthy work-life balance. When work begins to eat into personal life, your team may begin to experience the symptoms of burnout, and with Covid lurking, this couldn\u2019t be more true.\n\nIt\u2019s important to catch the signs of burnout early on otherwise your team could experience a dip in their <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/guide-to-boosting-employee-mental-wellbeing\/\">mental health<\/a>.\n\nIf you\u2019re not sure how to create a culture that fosters healthy work-life balance, we suggest going back to basics and asking yourself these questions:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Is my team working overtime every day?<\/li>\n \t<li>Are my employees feeling stressed?<\/li>\n \t<li>Are my employees less engaged?<\/li>\n \t<li>Has there been an increase in employee absenteeism?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf you answered yes to any of these questions, it\u2019s time to investigate. We suggest using employee surveys or a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">Happiness Survey tool to find out why<\/a>.\n\nFrom here, you should identify if you need to hire more resources to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/workforce-planning-covid19\/\">help with the workload<\/a>.\n\nIt\u2019s your responsibility as an employer to ensure that your team are feeling mentally well.\n<h2>The light at the end of the tunnel is near<\/h2>\nTimes are tough right now \u2013 both for employees and employers.\n\nShare resources and give your team the support they need to process the events of the last two years and re-energise.\n\n<strong>Start creating an employee support plan with our guide now.<\/strong>\n\nLooking for more COVID-19 resources?
