In a new survey commissioned by Heineken Canada, more than half of working Canadians blame "hustle culture" for their lack of work-life balance, saying they feel burnt out. A total of 46 percent of legal drinking-age respondents under 35 reported canceling or rescheduling plans due to work during the holiday season, and more than one in three (36 percent) said they logged into emails, messaging apps, and other work-related programs during the holiday season to compensate for their time off.
By partnering with entrepreneur and TV personality Michele Romanow and creating an innovative and engaging new device, Heineken intends to challenge this status quo. The Closer, a high-tech bottle opener that shuts down work applications when users open a bottle of Heineken with it, is designed to challenge this status quo. Together, Heineken and Romanow encourage workers to tune out of work and spend time with family and friends.
"As an entrepreneur in Canada, I've seen too many people burn out in the pursuit of professional goals," said Romanow, CEO and co-founder of Clearco, the world's largest e-commerce investor. "We can all understand the value of hard work, but too many of us undervalue the need to unwind, disconnect, and prioritize our personal lives and own wellbeing."
