Over-engagement can negatively impact employee well-being and performance. Prevent it by promoting work-life balance, setting realistic goals, fostering a supportive culture, and encouraging self-care
Addressing over-engagement is crucial for sustainable team performance. In my work with UK organisations, I've found effective strategies to reduce anxiety while maintaining productivity.
• Implement structured skill-sharing sessions where team members teach their expertise to others
• Create clear policies around response times and after-hours communication
• Establish team metrics rather than individual performance measures
• Develop support systems where responsibilities are shared across the team
I recently conducted a workshop with a Paris technology company that implemented these principles. The result is still being measured, but the feedback I received was encouraging. The mindset shifted in the right direction and inspired to team to re-assess their dynamics.
When team members rely on each other effectively, the pressure on over-engaged individuals naturally decreases.
