![]() ![]() In analyzing more than 80 studies, we (with our colleagues Zahra Premji, Timothy Wingate, Connie Deng, Lisa Bélanger, and Nick Turner) confirmed that pausing work throughout the day can improve well-being and also help with getting more work done. Intrigued by two competing narratives - one focused on working more as an indicator of performance and the other on having regular respites to protect well-being - as well as mixed (and sometimes even conflicting) findings of individual studies on these topics, our team conducted a systematic review of existing research on workplace breaks. Pausing work rather than pushing through might help with both aspects. What can we do to address our declining well-being while maintaining performance? Alarmingly, both high burnout and low engagement rates are associated with hindered performance. Engagement has taken the opposite turn and is declining among the U.S. More than half of employees (59%) report feeling burnout according to a recent survey from Aflac. For example, the “daily routines of CEOs” often include things like waking up at 4 am, working on the weekend, and even being “ strategic about how often you go to the bathroom.” To tackle an ever-increasing workload, many workers choose to grind through, skip lunch, and stay after hours.īut the cost of being always-on (and doing it well!) is high. And not surprisingly, the popular literature is rife with advice on how to maximize work time. It seems intuitive that the more time we spend on job tasks, the more we can get done. CANDIDATE STATEMENT: Candidates will be directed to read the Candidate Statement and provide an electronic signature, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the NCLEX.For many of us, being productive means spending more time working.VISITORS: Friends, relatives or children are not allowed to wait in the test center or contact the candidate while taking the examination.If circumstances arise causing candidates to wait more than 30 minutes after the scheduled appointment time or a restart delay lasts longer than 30 minutes, candidates will be given the choice of continuing to wait or rescheduling the appointment without an additional fee. ![]()
