Employee engagement is critically important to the success of an organization, but disengagement is critical for the well-being of the employee. Not disengagement in the traditional sense, though, of feeling not present and nonproductive at work. Disengagement from work, in this case, means a clearly defined work-life balance. This is crucial to an employee’s overall well-being, but many modern workers have difficulty achieving it. According to a seven-year study on workplace performance, making a break between personal and professional time is ranked among the top 10 stressful situations people are least effective at handling, and technology has made the problem worse by making most workplaces an email away. So how can employees leave work at work? One way to do so is by setting up an end-of-the-day routine to create a psychological barrier between the worlds of work and home. This routine can be as simple or as complex as personal preference dictates, and can include any number of the following: completing a simple task to end the day on a note of accomplishment, writing a to-do list for the next day, straightening up your work area, or dedicating a specific action—such as locking the office door, turning off the computer monitor, or calling a partner to plan dinner—to signal the end of thinking about work.
