The reason so many people have trouble working is simply because the workload is too heavy. "More breaks and more employees are needed," according to Gunnar Aronsson, professor of occupational psychology and organizations.
To a large extent, this year's Work Environment Authority report on work-related issues follows the pattern of previous years: the problems are most acute in the health, education and care professions predominantly female. But Gunnar Aronsson refers to another group also hit hard: those whose jobs are limited in time. They get worse help from the employer and it is twice as common that a woman working in a temporary employment agency changes employer and three times more often than one. man does it against permanent employees.
-They must solve problems individually and choose to change jobs when they can not get help. This group is ignored and it appears in different studies as afterwards, he says.
Mission Discussion
There is no simple solution to the issues raised by the Work Environment Authority. However, since the basic problem is too important, it is that more people should share the tasks. Or something as simple as adding more breaks during the workday.
– When the workload is high, users do not have these recovery times. It may be micro-pause in just a few minutes, but the workload is really heavy, many people do not even recover between two days of work.
-To prevent problems, there must be a discussion about the actual work assigned. For example, before a company hires a job, it can be done by a subcontractor, so ask if its resources are sufficient. If resources are lacking, people are forced to work overtime and those with insufficient education will be stressed. This applies both at the company level but the same inventory is required in the form of conversations also between a manager and a colleague.
Employment despite illness
Illness is another problem associated with workload: when employees, despite their illness, feel compelled to go to work.
-The disease causes a little known cost. In the United States, where health insurance is significantly worse than in Sweden, studies have shown that the cost of sick leave is higher than that of sick leave because of poor performance and accidents when employees have difficulty concentrating
