Why do so many leaders & professionals keep working at a punishing pace, even when it damages their health, well-being & relationships? And why do organisational initiatives aiming to curb extreme work hours, e.g., "no email after hours" policies, wellness initiatives - often fail? New research suggests this isn’t about personal “workaholism” or “driven” personalities. Rather it is about people fitting with the relentless tempo of their organisations. This is underpinned by a sense of what you need to do to make career progress & cultural expectations of 24/7 availability. It creates a pace that feels impossible to clock out of, even after hours. Researchers call this an “entrainment cycle”. People come to feel that this pace is normal - even necessary. In the study, people often described the fast-paced tempo of work not as something they were forced into, but as something they craved or became “bored” without. How organisations can break the cycle: 1) Address the tempo, not just the hours. Change how work is done, e.g., rethink project pacing, reduce artificial urgency, redesign calendars to allow for focus & reflection. 2) Be alert for warning signs - stress, disengagement, burnout early & respond before issues escalate. 3) Help people feel they have the cultural permission to pause. It's not enough to change schedules – expectations need to change. Taking breaks, disconnecting on non-work days & ignoring the inbox when on holidays should become organisational norms. hbr.org/2025/07/new-re…. By Ioana Lupu & Shanming Liu in @HarvardBiz.

Simulated practice learning can be just as effective as traditional clinical placements in improving outcomes for pre-registration nursing students, a major review has found. The research was published this week by @councilofdeans and @AngliaRuskin. nursingtimes.net/news/education…
