Safety is the top priority for us at Arborwear. It's a top priority for a lot of our green industry friends, too. While we talk a lot about safety in terms of physical well-being, we urge you to make space for conversations in the workplace about mental well-being, too. 

 

Here's a way to start a dialogue about mental health and avoiding burnout with your crew:

Check-in After Big Projects

While it's a relief to see the fruits of your labor on a finally-finished project, a big team effort can be exhausting for the crew. Make sure they know you appreciate them and their hard work with some positive words of rewards/gifts, or your own efforts to help out. Learn more ways you can celebrate your crew's accomplishments here.

 

These are some tips for managing your own mental health. Pass 'em along to your crew!

Breathe Like A Navy Seal

All it takes is 5 minutes to recenter yourself so you are ready to perform and lead in the safest way possible. Inhale for 4 seconds. Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Exhale for 4 seconds. Repeat for 5 minutes. This boxed breathing technique is used by the Navy Seals in high-stress environments, so it is quite beneficial. 

Change Into Something More Comfortable

Changing into more comfortable clothing after a long day helps your mind go from work mode to rest mode. For people as hardworking as you, this is very necessary.

Arborwear sweatpants are highly recommended when crashing on the couch. Available in single thick  and double thick options.
