MOTIVATING OVERWORKED EMPLOYEES


	To take the edge off an oppressive work pace and make it
livable, do you:

     	Make sure your people see that you recognize the situation and
are taking steps to improve it?

     	Give workers straightforward information about why the
accelerated pace is necessary and when it's likely to let up?

     	Ask workers what they need from you to get through the
crunch as best they can?

     	Provide immediate feedback to help employees work as
efficiently as possibly?

     	Scrutinize alternatives such as dropping low-priority projects
or adding additional resources to relax the strain?

     	Smooth the way through future grinds by cross-training your
people and streamlining processes and schedules?

Does that help? YES or NO
