Supporting a healthier, resilient work culture at NUS
Many modern workers remain engaged at work, tending to email, and other work related communications during official off-work hours. This limits their ability to wind down, rest, and enjoy time off with family and friends. Not taking sufficient rest and sleep has effects on well-being and health.
This series of comics call attention to issues surrounding the blurring of work-rest boundaries. It explores actionable ways we can be considerate to our colleagues, draw boundaries between work and rest, and improve our personal management of emails so as not to be overwhelmed. In a light-hearted but honest way, solutions are proposed, highlighting that small changes in practices can reclaim the shift boundaries between work and rest, so that staff can fully utilize off-work hours to rest, reflect and recharge.
Work culture transformation:
Rest, Reflect, Recharge
At NUS, we are committed to fostering a work environment where staff feel empowered to be creative, energetic, and adaptable in the face of constant change. Thriving in such a dynamic environment requires a healthy rhythm—one that balances periods of focused effort with time to rest, reflect, and recharge.
