A very important part of a sustainably productive and happy work life is making sure you look after yourself, and maintain a work/life harmony. amazee.io provides you with structure and benefits in order to support you in this. Here we discuss how you can make these work for you and your well-being.
Working remotely and within a global team, being able to structure ourselves in a way that maintains our mental and physical well-being is not only more possible, but also even more vital to avoid burnout and isolation.
It can also be harder for the usual support centers (HR, Feel Good Team, Leads) to spot issues in the first place due to the distance and lack of in-person interaction. Therefore it’s important you as employees feel empowered to manage your mental and physical well-being and to actively set yourself up with a structure and routine conducive to this.
On this page, you’ll find ways we structure our processes and benefits to aid this empowerment.
We will do everything we can to support you, however ultimately you yourself have to own your mental and physical well-being. Therefore we have the following expectations.
Some days will be longer than others, so make other days shorter. When you track your time you’ll be able to use any excess hours you’ve accumulated at a later date. It’s important that you use this extra time and don’t accumulate too much. The idea of flexitime is to manage your work hours consistently and in a sustainable way, not to work yourself so hard that you build up lots of hours in order to take a month off later in the year.
Your lead and HR periodically review accumulated flexitime - If it's clear that you’re continually working excess hours and not using your time, then they will reach out to you to support you in a plan to make your workload more sustainable.
