There are several important factors that can contribute to reducing work fatigue, according to a study conducted by scientists from Wake Forest University, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and Northeastern University in the US.
Here’s what’s most important:
- Micro breaks
Micro-breaks are a simple and cost-effective way to combat fatigue, especially when the workload is heavy
- The support of the manager is another important factor.
Supervisor support plays an important role in reducing fatigue. Together, these two mechanisms offer the most significant relief for professionals who work during busy seasons or other high-stress work periods
The researchers interviewed 44 accountants about their work habits and then conducted a controlled experiment on fatigue and micro-breaks with another 179 participants.
