Don’t email your employees on their holiday. And better yet, maybe give all of them a four-day weekend—a full week—of email holiday, and commit to not sending any emails from September 4 to 7.
Burnout is real, and if there is one time of the year that it’s relatively feasible to catch up on sleep, get some sun, or curl up with a good book, it’s the week leading up to Labor Day. So especially this year, be intentional about helping your team take a minute away from the constant ping of notifications and the unrelenting deluge of emails.
