Difficult Work-Life Balance

Communicate with your colleagues:

Talking to your colleagues about your workload and how you're feeling can help you feel less alone. It can also help you find solutions or ways to manage your workload together.

Practice assertiveness:

If you feel like your workload is too much or you're being asked to do something unreasonable, it's okay to speak up and say no. Be clear and assertive about what you can and cannot do, and offer alternative solutions if possible.

Learn to say "no":

It's important to know your limits and not take on more than you can handle. Saying "no" to extra work or requests that don't align with your priorities can help you manage your workload and reduce stress.

Get support from your EAP:

If your workload is causing you significant stress or affecting your mental health, your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can offer confidential support and resources to help you manage your stress and workload.
