Taking Time to Rest, Rejuvenate and Refocus
Do you know what one of the hottest topics of our time is right now? Mental health. At Reliance Realty Partners, we take mental health seriously. We believe in being intentional about our time, how it’s spent and where it’s spent. In order to best serve each other and our Partnering Agents and their clients, we need to be on our “A-Game” 100% of the time. In order to do so, we take time to rest, rejuvenate and refocus, which is why we have set hours of Monday – Friday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, taking two days off.
Within the Real Estate Industry, time can quickly slip through your fingers if you are not careful. You’ll end up finding yourself awake at midnight – scrambling to get things done, wonder where the week went, overwhelmed with stress and pressure leaving you feeling unsatisfied with balance. In an effort to reduce these negative side effects, we encourage our employees to take time to relax after hours and on their days off – focusing on them and their family.
Rest & Rejuvenate
Your body naturally functions better when you allow yourself time to rest and sleep. As adults, this can be a hard task as the workload seems to never end, but an important key to success. Taking time to rest without work and allowing yourself to unwind can be one of the best things you do for your clients. When you’re tired and your mind is in a fog, it’s hard to think straight and make sound decisions. We can’t best serve our Partnering Agents and their clients if we are groggy, leading to rash decisions and missed details. That’s why we encourage our employees to take time to be intentional in spending time doing what will rejuvenate them.
Productivity is hindered when employees feel pressured to always work. We want our employees to know it’s okay to take a moment to stop, slow down and breathe. While we recognize the importance of the work needing to be completed, we also realize responsibilities and problems are more effectively handled with refreshed eyes and mindsets.
Refocus
Multi-tasking is tremendously on the rise in our generation. A person can talk on the phone, send an email/text and listen to the TV/music in the background all at the same time! While our employees are superb at multi-tasking, we believe allowing days off helps them to refocus on the task at hand more efficiently and successfully when they come back to work on Monday. Our employees are able to re-connect with themselves and their family during the time off, feeling accomplished in both their personal and work life – without feeling the pull to choose one over the other. With time set aside for work and time set aside for their personal life, they can better shift all their focus and attention to where they’re at and what they’re doing at the moment.
As Khurram Chohan, Founder of Together CFO, Financial Consulting to Boost Profitability, Gain Insight & Tools to Grow Quicker, puts it: “If you don’t have a clear exit strategy for your business, then you don’t have a business -- it’s just a job. Being able to create the time to do what you want is worth its weight in gold.”
