WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT
When our workload is managed efficiently, we feel enough control
over our day to accomplish the tasks required within the time
provided. Positive workload management allows us to feel energized
and valued by a reasonable amount of demand for our skills. Even
when work gets challenging, employees will still be able to thrive if
they are given the flexibility to navigate these demands within reason
and to manage in a way that works for them and the organization.
From an organizational perspective, an important management
responsibility is to act as a helpful workload coach, considering
current workload before assigning new tasks and discussing solutions
with employees when workload becomes too high. Remember, open
communication between leadership and frontline workers is a key
component of managing workload efficiently.
