Small business owners can consider implementing summer hours, such as an early release on Fridays, to boost employee morale and combat burnout. Offering this low-cost perk can help reduce the high burnout rate among US employees (44%), according to a Society for Human Resource Management report. Before implementing reduced summer hours, small business owners should consider factors like employee workload and deadlines, and possibly stagger time off or offer reduced hours every other week. It's essential to put the policy in writing, communicate it well in advance, and conduct a post-mortem evaluation at the end of the season to make necessary adjustments.
