Maintaining healthy boundaries at work has become increasingly difficult with flexible working, remote and hybrid working, and technological progress.

Setting boundaries at work begins during the interview process, where you can establish what kinds of work practices you will accept, especially accessibility during working hours, out-of-hours working, and remote working arrangements.

Career Contessa offers eight tips for establishing healthy boundaries in the workplace.

1. Assess your personal boundaries first. These will be determined by your values and priorities. If you are not clear about your boundaries, then it's much easier for others to cross them or violate them, leading to discomfort, stress, and even resentment.
2. Communicate directly. Be upfront yet professional. Avoid getting involved in discussing your colleagues with each other. Let people know when you are available and how you handle emails that arrive in your inbox outside work hours.
3. Create clear structures for your work, especially times for focused work, by letting your colleagues know when you do not want to be disturbed.
4. Keep your relationships professional. As tempting as it may be to become best friends with colleagues, it can lead to blurred boundaries and problems later on.
5. Delegate work when appropriate to manage your workload.
6. Get comfortable saying no.
7. Take time off.
8. Use technology to set and maintain work boundaries, by keeping others informed and using shareable project management tools, such as Trello or Asana.
