It\u2019s common to feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety, stress or sadness on the first day of the workweek. This can sometimes demotivate you, and your colleagues, despite the bright Monday morning. Worse, it can cause tension and fatigue. Monday Morning blues are fairly common and have been known to decrease work output and efficiency across the corporate sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

What exactly are Monday morning blues<\/em>? <\/strong><\/span>
\nResearchers like to think of them as sets of negative pessimistic emotions that many suffer from at the beginning of a workweek, causing discomfort and unhappiness at the office. According to Alexander Kjerulf, a well-known writer and speaker, Monday blues contain \u201celements of depression, tiredness, hopelessness and a sense that work is unpleasant but unavoidable.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Monday blues are region agnostic and have almost become a cultural phenomenon now. But these signs of tiredness and anxiety are not something to be trifled with. They can be much more than just passing tiredness. Sometimes, these can be serious indications that something isn\u2019t quite right at your workplace and hint prolonged mental impact due to your daily job. Happiness is the key to this type of situation. Only when you enjoy your work to its full potential, you will feel good and energized about it, at any point of time in the week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an employer, there are a number of steps that can be taken to address the issue, and\u00a0 help your workforce beat their Monday blues:<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 Identify Core Issues<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Are there workplace culture issues your org is facing? Have they been working long hours for too long? Perhaps it\u2019s due to some policies? The bottom line is, your workforce isn\u2019t looking forward to a day at work, and this can be indicative of some deeper issues that must be addressed before any other remedy is tried.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 Unplug for the weekend<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, successful organizations like Tesla and SpaceX are known for their long, grueling work hours, and a consistent work-life imbalance across their workforce. But these are more the exception than the norm. Unless you\u2019re a brand that wants to specifically attract a workforce with a preference for that working style, you\u2019d do well by encouraging teams to disconnect over the weekend and recharge their batteries!<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 Foster Positive Culture<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ensuring positive attitudes, and an environment that makes room for them is critical for an organization\u2019s long term success. Not only does it address many minor issues, but it also certainly contributes to tackling Monday blues.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 Review Benefits Programs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Another long term, yet impactful solution \u2013 ensuring that your benefits programs, such as financial wellness initiatives, are running smoothly and achieving long term goals and objectives, is key to ensuring employee happiness. A workforce less stressed about health, finances, and more is a workforce that turns up on Monday raring to go!<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 Personalise Attention<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On an individual level, HR professionals may want to consider prioritizing individual interactions at the workplace. In addition to the potential for self-satisfaction here, such initiatives can result in valuable insights into employee morale, their issues, and the challenges that the HR function faces, from the most authentic of sources \u2013 the workforce, and not text or numbers in a survey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Mondays are certainly possible, in a far higher proportion than we\u2019d think. As long as Monday blues are addressed as a challenge that can be tackled successfully with the right strategy, the HR function doesn\u2019t have much to worry about.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
