A recent Harvard Business Review article discussed the culture of busyness that permeates the workforce. Social scientists have begun to call this malady, “time poverty.”
The article notes that many organizations reward and affirm busyness, perpetuating such a fast pace that employees have little time to find adequate solitude and rest to perform at their best. Studies show that extreme busyness can lead to productivity and efficiency decreases, higher turnover, and greater absenteeism.
Hebrews 4:10 says, “For anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.”
Organizations who desire God’s best for their employees, need to find ways to slow down the culture of busyness within their workplace. The first idea mentioned in the article is to consider mandating paid time off.
