a) Long Work Hours in WFH environment 

b) Staff do not take leave during WFH 

2. Three Ideas How to Move Forwards:
a1) There shouldnt be expectation of responding emails/messages after office hours. 
a2) use delay delivery function 
a3) boss should set as example. Do not send/response email after office hours
a4) Even sending email after office hours, add a note to the recipient, it's absolutely fine to response by xxx date/time 

b1) Even if you are in home, working and on leave is different when you spending time with your family. Staff should be released from work and shouldnt mix together work and personal time at home

3. "Safe-to-Fail" Probe for Each Idea:
a1) Common understanding with the team, chat session with them, informal lunch/coffee session
a2) Keep an open channel for team to feedback over the progress

b1) as answers in a1
b2) add a foot note in their email - to pre-emp co-workers on their planned leaves

WFH and its various challenges (e.g. playing multiple roles at home, lack of conducive place to work, longer working hours) is causing the team to feel burnt out.

2. Three Ideas How to Move Forwards:

a. Team Leads to provide 'incentives' to members for appreciation and recognition of efforts
b. Consideration to move to 4-day work week
c. Provide a structure to guide team on work-life balance, where possible. e.g. to restrict work within official hours, to instill 'templates' for work meetings and duration within a particular timeframe (no longer than 60 minutes, or instill breaks for complex discussions)

3. "Safe-to-Fail" Probe for Each Idea:

a. Conduct regular physical touchpoint, informal/ casual 'coffee chats' with individuals or group of colleagues, etc.
b. Pilot-trial on 'no work communication' after office hours, except critical/ urgent items
c. Organise well-being activities physical/ virtual at end of day/ week/ month for individuals or group of colleagues to 'break-away' from work. 
c (i). Individual - 'Me-Day/ Time' for addressing feedbacks with Management and 'toying with ideas' for innovation/ incubation of ideas, undertaking e-learning for self-development, etc.
c (ii). Group of colleagues - GetFit initiatives e.g. Big Walk, Zumba, etc.]]> 2022-07-05 00:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wenweichiang/1pahyrv20flvuwp4/wish/2236755953 wenweichiang https://padlet.com/wenweichiang/1pahyrv20flvuwp4/wish/2236756113 1. Brief Problem Statement:
WFH for an extended amount of time, employees are burnt out

2. Three Ideas How to Move Forwards:
1. Arrange a get together session after work or during lunch
2. Roster for employees to come back to office, to create a sense of 'togetherness'
3. Flexible work hours

3. "Safe-to-Fail" Probe for Each Idea:
Experiment (Probe 1):
Arrange a get together within the team and seek out various interest groups. After trying out various interests (i.e. cooking, gardening, photography), we concluded that nighttime cycling is the most popular. We cycle every Friday night after work to have some makan together as a team.

Experiment (Probe 2):
Duration of three months, every employee is asked to come back to the office two days a week on scheduled days. Monitor the engagement level of the team, refine, and repeat.

Experiment (Probe 3):
Allocate different pockets of time for your different roles/functions (not limited to just work, can also focus on the family) and No-meeting-Fridays on the last Friday of the month, to focus on work and limit "zoom fatigue"]]> 2022-07-05 00:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wenweichiang/1pahyrv20flvuwp4/wish/2236756113 wenweichiang https://padlet.com/wenweichiang/1pahyrv20flvuwp4/wish/2236756248 1. Brief Problem Statement:

WFH - Various Challenges

2. Three Ideas How to Move Forwards:

1st Probe - Time Management pertaining to actual work and personal time.

2nd Probe - Lack conducive and environment, Burnt Out

3. "Safe-to-Fail" Probe for Each Idea:

Sense Probe 1 - Flexible working place and time

Sense Prob 2 - Smaller unit of place, when initial Circuit Breaker, no prior experience. Talk to few of staff on what are the challenges they have.

Sense Prob 3 -  Agree on general time allocation for actual work for meetings and engagement. Let the team knows about when to actually work. By talking to some of staff that have this burnt-out issue. May not be all staff experiencing this. ( Workshop for mental wellness and also have time to talk to the staff). Arranged a work-out time for exercise.
