5 Ways to Create Work-Life Boundaries in Virtual Workplaces

#084 – Today Kay will be discussing the key points to having healthy work-life boundaries in virtual workplaces. She will be going over the five ways to create your own personal boundaries in the workplace and your everyday life that will help to ensure your well-being and your mental health, as well as your professional performance and success. Each individual has a different story, with different needs and accommodations that must be considered, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

So today Kay will be sharing her insights on what managers and employees in a remote environment can do to look after their mental health through clear boundaries, whether it’s in your place of work or in your off time!

Kay also dives into tools that are available to each of us that we can utilize to make communication easier while working with teams remotely, and also to help make workplace interactions more effective and encourage trust-building for teams. So, without further ado, let’s dive into today’s episode.
