Creating a Workplace Culture That Respects Boundaries

In an always-on world, boundaries are often the first thing to go, and the first thing employees wish they could reclaim.

From double-booked calendars to late-night emails, the erosion of workplace boundaries has taken a toll on employee wellbeing, focus, and retention. And yet, the research is clear, when organizations protect their teams' ability to disconnect and recover, performance doesn’t drop, it improves.

That’s why we created this guide - Creating a Workplace Culture That Respects Boundaries, which is designed to help HR leaders, wellness champions, and organizational decision-makers reimagine how we work.

What’s Inside:

  • The business case for boundaries

  • Global legislation examples on the “right to disconnect” and workplace boundaries

  • Practical strategies for individuals and organizations

  • Sample policy language and culture-building practices to reinforce healthy norms

Who This Is For:

  • HR practitioners tasked with setting equitable policies

  • Executives and people leaders aiming to lead by example

  • Workplace health, safety and wellbeing professionals

  • Anyone interested in creating healthy workplaces that support wellbeing
