Put yourself into the oncall rotation for starters.

For a US exempt employee it would be fairly straightforward to push oncall expectations into a role. But in other countries with robust labor protections it might be more challenging. Ultimately the solution is money.

But doing it yourself goes a long way to convincing your team it’s necessary. I personally do this as a manager and I find it helps a lot. If you get paged a few times at 3am it really helps align your priorities with your team.
