Perspectives: The infinite workday

Reclaiming time and setting healthy boundaries in the Always-On Era

When the laptop is always open, is business ever closed?

Such is the dilemma of the infinite workday

Today’s employees are online earlier and hanging around later than ever, accommodating every time zone and a seemingly endless stream of ad-hoc meetings—often at the cost of actual productivity and their well-being. And while AI can help automate mundane tasks, it’s also adding to the chaos compounded by constant disruption.

Like many employees, HR professionals are feeling the pain of the “triple peak” with a flurry of communication taking place before the traditional workday, at lunch and again after the workday was supposed to end. This is unsustainable.

In this webinar, our expert panel will share actionable strategies to help you:

  • Recognize why the infinite workday is happening in your organization.
  • Evaluate its true impact on your workforce.
  • Raise your concerns with leadership, and advocate for change.
  • Counsel managers and employees on establishing healthy boundaries and mitigating consequences.
  • Learn to avoid the always-on trap in your work.
  • Understand the essence of the HR function as the keeper of autonomy and accountability

Bonus for our live attendees… tune in for 1 HRCI and 1 SHRM credit!
