In today’s episode, we have a conversation about Mental Detachment from your workplace. I had a chat with Laura Pycraft. Laura is a professional coach, DEI specialist, and talent management, expert. For many people, work stress extends well beyond the confines of the office or the job site. The process of detachment from work-related thoughts and engaging in activities that support the body's return to pre-stress levels is what most refer to as mental detachment. A healthy sense of detachment enables one to have room for objectivity, which improves productivity overall, and it supports people in discovering their own needs through self-reflection. We also touch on the benefits of psychological detachment; psychological separation from work during non-working hours is advantageous for a number of areas of employee well-being and job performance. Sometimes employees can get caught up in fighting for things in the workplace, and detaching helps you realize what your personal goals are and work to achieve that and not get caught up in the rut race where people could be fighting for things that do not personally benefit you. Mental detachment gives you a decision space where you can figure out those things that bring you peace or fulfillment.
