My manager is highly productive and often uses email on holiday and at weekends. This means he expects the same level of activity from me. How can I show that I am working productively and protect my work-life balance? Lesley: An 'always on' culture does not necessarily mean that people are more productive - they just think they are because they never stop working. If your manager works in this way, it may be difficult for him to understand that you are just as committed and productive as he is. I suggest you steer the conversation away from a focus on individual output and broaden it to cover wider performance. For example, you could create a team dashboard, including customer satisfaction ratings, volume statistics and other measures of success. He will then be able to easily see how well his team is doing (or not).
