vetter highlights the importance of setting boundaries to reduce stress. “we carry belief systems from when we started our careers—like feeling guilty for leaving the office at a reasonable hour,” vetter explains, “but no one is actually judging you for setting healthy boundaries. communicating expectations and structuring your day can help reduce unnecessary stress.”
leadership training beyond technical skills focusing on people management and empowerment is also essential. “we often promote people based on technical skills, but leadership is about empowering others,” says vetter. “if we don’t train our managers to be effective leaders, we create a disconnect between firm expectations and employee experience.”
key takeaways
- a firm’s culture isn’t just about policies and benefits—it should be actively demonstrated in leadership decisions, daily operations, and firm values.
- employees should be encouraged to communicate their availability, set boundaries, and prioritize work-life harmony without guilt.
- employees and leaders should engage in open discussions to clarify expectations, improve workflows, and enhance workplace satisfaction.
- the ability to disconnect from work and be present in personal life improves overall productivity and well-being.
- leaders should empower employees to make decisions and feel in control of their work.
- innovation should be encouraged, particularly in areas like technology and process improvement.
