 Welcome to West Michigan's Morning News, Steve Kelly, Brett Bikita, Rick Albin on the edge of our seats waiting to hear. The latest from Jason Troy, business coach with Fox News Radio. We talked to Jason before about stuff that makes a lot of sense. Stress in the workplace seems to be getting worse and worse. Jason has a study in front of him right now that somehow this after-hours stuff could be causing some trouble. Is it really too much to ask your employees, Jason, to answer emails when they're out of the workplace? Well, I think the challenge is that when you start to expect that, then people feel like they're on call 24-7. And if you send an email 11 o'clock at night that they need to answer it by, you know, 11 05. And that can keep people on edge because they're worried about missing the email and then also not responding in the fashion that the person you send it wants to respond in, in the timeframe. And that makes it really difficult for people to live their lives outside the office. See, I totally live in that world and we've talked about this before. It's more of a have or have not. Some of us are expected to be on call immediately while others are not. And it's that disparity that at least for me personally is the thing that ticks me off. Yes. And I think, you know, there's some jobs, you know, like your job that we're, you know, breaking news is absolutely essential. But for a lot of people, it's not. And if you send an email at, you know, 9 or 10 o'clock, it can be answered, you know, the next morning with not a significant impact on the business. And I think that's where people really have to regulate it. And I think organizations and managers do as well. Take what? Go ahead. My question to you, Jason, is this, we've seen and talked about protocol that companies have taken as far as social media is concerned. Have you come across anybody or would you recommend as a business coach, there's protocol to, hey, when the doors are closed or six o'clock or seven o'clock or whatever in the business day, no email after that? Well, I think for, I think it's more about how you need to respond in the email because they feel like if you need to send an email and you're thinking about something at seven o'clock, it's not a big deal as long as the expectation isn't that someone has to respond that night, unless it's absolutely urgent and you market urgent, right? And I think also it's important to communicate to the person. If you send it after hours saying, hey, this is something super important or something, hey, just get to it the next day. And I'd appreciate it. And I think the other part is on vacation, which I think is some of the biggest impact is that when you're out of the office on vacation, I do think there should be a policy that you do not have to respond to emails because then you're really not taking a vacation if you have to constantly check your email every day and see who sent something and then respond. The other thing that is interesting and it doesn't apply to us so much because we do have things that can develop at any time, but when you've got people who are doing eight hours or 10 hours or whatever a day and they're completely focused in, I mean, there is a real detriment to their family time when you start carrying that over to when they're at home. Do is it your experience that that management appreciates the fact that people have lives beyond jobs? I think a lot of times people don't even think about it because a lot I think the work life balance is really never there, right? I mean, I think work is just it's prominent people's minds all the time and people who are running businesses or managing other people, like they don't very often think about people separation of what's going on. I think that's why you've got to draw some lines and boundaries as an organization because otherwise what happens is you're right, someone's at home at seven o'clock spending with their family and they're worried about work the next day and they're not present in their own life or they're worried about if they don't check their email or send you something. I'm still stressed out just from this conversation. Yeah. I agree. What a great segment. Thank you so much. That is Jason Troy, business coach, Fox News Radio is always a pleasure. Thank you.
