WSJ Your Money Briefing · How Companies Are Trying to Reestablish Blurry Work-Life Boundaries · 26 Mar 2021 podcast

Citigroup is going to do this as well. voice-verified

Just ways to kind of give people a little more time to focus on their mental health, the thinking that that might lead them to be more refreshed so they can go back and tackle the next work challenges. voice-verified

Well, even the best meaning managers can only do so much. voice-verified

And I think what many companies are finding is that even as they roll out these programs, as they try to reinforce boundaries, there is really nothing that a company can do to prevent someone from sitting at their kitchen table for 12 hours and toiling away. voice-verified

And I think that's been the real challenge for managers in all of this is to how to really, really encourage people to step away when it's ultimately up to professionals and it can be really difficult. voice-verified

Thanks for having me. voice-verified

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Got Plans for Thanksgiving? Your Boss Wants to Know. · 19 Nov 2020 podcast

We've seen companies roll out various pledges. voice-verified

Employers and bosses have asked employees to sign kind of these voluntary safety promises where they say that we'll do our part to kind of be safe, to protect those around us, protect the community. voice-verified

The COVID crisis has really thrust companies into places where they haven't been before. voice-verified

Many were used to sending out bland notes on Thanksgiving, telling people how much they appreciated their service and leaving it at that. voice-verified

So many companies are now in the position where they're really having to distill information and kind of make sure that they are reaching employees in all sorts of ways, wanting to get this critical health information to them. voice-verified

I've had a number of HR executives tell me that they've had to tell their employees at some point, we are not doctors. voice-verified

We cannot answer all of these questions. voice-verified

Employees have increasingly looked to their companies as a source of truth in the pandemic, turning to them for guidance on what to do and how to stay safe. voice-verified

And that's put many executives in a difficult position. voice-verified

Well, companies are really going all out to encourage employees to stay safe, releasing a flurry of memos and videos and guidance just telling people to largely stay in their homes, to not gather with other people if possible. voice-verified

But they really can only do so much. voice-verified

Employers can't really dictate how people spend their personal time. voice-verified

And so while employers can put guidance and recommendations out there, they really can't force people to do anything. voice-verified

And some employment lawyers we've talked to also said that there are legal liabilities raised if employers monitor people's social media activity, for example, or are punitive in their actions based on what people might do on the Thanksgiving holiday. voice-verified
