How Companies Can Help Ease Weekend Anxiety
Researchers at the University of Exeter discovered in 2023 that the boundaries between home and work life have blurred since the pandemic, intensifying the Sunday blues (2).
Professionals most affected by the Sunday Scaries are those who receive emails over the weekend, those who feel forced to work through weekends or have unfinished work, and those who suffer from their self-imposed pressure to perform.
To lighten the mood on Sundays, managers can actively participate and offer ways for their employees to cope with the anxiety. Thanks to extensive research, the University of Exeter developed a toolkit with strategies managers can apply to help their workforce deal better with Sunday syndrome.
The University has outlined several methods, including checking in with teams on Fridays, arranging positive interactions on Mondays to give people something to look forward to, and encouraging employees to complete their to-do lists on Fridays to help alleviate the Sunday night blues. However, it’s important to note that it takes a collaborative effort between employers and employees to make the plans work.
