Vitality, absenteeism, and turnover

A (too) high workload puts pressure on employees’ vitality. This typically manifests itself in higher absenteeism and, ultimately, in higher employee turnover. This problem often arises precisely in environments where there is already a shortage of staff, which can cause a downward spiral that must be stopped, or better, prevented.

Can you change under high work pressure?

At the same time, organizations need to change more and more. This combination of challenges plays out, for example, in the health care sector. The demand for care is growing, while the budget and number of caregivers is not. This leads to the need to spend less time per client/patient so that staff can provide care to more people. For health care providers, delivering good care is key. This seems at odds with this strategic change that means less time per client. Therefore, the necessary change is met with resistance among employees. Working to increase change readiness is therefore important for successful change.
