The Labour campaign pledged a 'right to switch off' for employees to enable them to create more healthy boundaries between work and home life by refusing to answer work related contact or do additional work outside of their normal working hours.

It's common knowledge that poor work-life balance has a negative impact on employees wellbeing, increasing burnout and sickness absence.

Whilst it's not yet clear how this will be implemented, inspiration is being taken from the Belgian and Irish approaches to the right to disconnect from work, and it seems likely that businesses will need to work with their employees to understand the crunch points and address concerns specific to their organisation. We're looking forward to hearing more about how this approach can better support employees in managing their boundaries at work and supporting a happier and more productive workforce.
