Definition: Overwork detection is the process of identifying when employees are working beyond reasonable limits, leading to potential exhaustion, burnout, or a decrease in performance.
Tracking the total number of hours worked by employees, especially overtime or extended hours beyond normal working time.
Evaluating whether the workload assigned to employees is excessive or unmanageable, leading to potential overwork.
Monitoring signs of stress, fatigue, or decreased performance that may indicate overwork, such as errors, absenteeism, or negative feedback.
Early detection of overwork helps prevent burnout by allowing managers to redistribute tasks or implement breaks and time-off policies.
By addressing overwork, organizations show they value work-life balance, leading to higher employee satisfaction and morale.
Avoiding overwork can reduce turnover rates, as employees are less likely to leave a company that respects their time and well-being. Additionally, well-rested employees are more productive and effective in their roles.
