There are lots of benefits to working primarily from home. No commute, potentially fewer distractions and it\u2019s certainly kinder on your wallet. However, as many workers across the world have found, remote employment can also bring with it a host of new challenges.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that a good work-life balance<\/a> is the most important factor when searching for a new job for 65% of workers. However, when working from home, this balance can become harder to maintain, which can lead to less productivity and ultimately affect our mental health.<\/p>\n

If you have found yourself being overwhelmed with your new working situation, it is important to address the issue as quickly as possible, to avoid exacerbating the problem. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can get help to invoke improvements to your working routine. We look at three ways you can address the struggles of working from home.<\/p>\n

Start with your routine<\/h4>\n

If you ever find yourself struggling to cope with the changes brought on by new working arrangements, your first port of call is to evaluate your new routine. Ask yourself if you have fallen into any bad habits and how these could be addressed to improve your situation.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance, can you find time in your schedule each day to do some exercise or something productive besides work? Even getting dressed in the morning, eating healthily throughout the day, and setting up a dedicated workspace can all benefit your productivity when working from home.<\/p>\n

There are lots of resources<\/a> available for you to conduct your own research into finding ways that could help you better manage your home working life. From job sites like Indeed, to government resources, there is lots of information online relating to healthy home working habits<\/a> \u2013 see if you can implement any healthy changes to your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Communicate with employers<\/h4>\n

If you have tried to address the problem yourself and you still find you\u2019re struggling with the pressures of remote working, be sure to have an open discussion with your employer. It will be in their best interest to listen to the challenges you\u2019re facing and create solutions to maintain a healthy and happy workforce.<\/p>\n

It can be a daunting prospect to highlight any issues in your company\u2019s hierarchy. However, if you\u2019ve found yourself struggling to be as productive working at home, chances are that you\u2019re not the only one. Giving feedback is the only way your employer will know that something isn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

Keep connected with colleagues<\/h4>\n

It can be very easy to become disconnected from your friends and peers when working away from the usual office setting. Quick chats over a cup of coffee, face-to-face meetings, and shared lunch breaks have all been removed during the pandemic. Whilst work calls and video meetings do help to maintain communication streams, it is equally important to talk to your colleagues about non-task-related things.<\/p>\n

Whether this is just a quick walk or catching up over lunch, spending time away from your desk with the people you\u2019ve missed can have a whole host of benefits. It will give you the opportunity to talk openly about your new working arrangements and potentially share any coping mechanisms you may have found useful.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, with almost two-thirds of remote workers<\/a> in America experiencing feelings of isolation or loneliness, staying connected can help to combat these feelings thus improving our mental health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
