Employees’ High Workload
Healthcare organizations throughout the world are affected by a variety of healthcare concerns or stress. All issues must be addressed immediately to prevent further escalation; however, some are more pressing and important. One of the key stressors in this scenario is high employee workload, which appears to be the most severe difficulty in the healthcare sector. A high workload happens when the quantity and intensity of one’s tasks exceed the limits of what can logically be handled in a specific function (Gu & Itoh, 2020). Additionally, the workload may result from a particular corporation attempting to minimize expenses or how work is managed or allocated to an individual. Recognizing a high workload in a healthcare firm is a critical first step toward achieving one’s career goals and seeking work-life balance.
Impact of Employees’ High Workload in the Healthcare Organization
In a healthcare facility with few employees, the overwhelming workload has several effects that, if not immediately addressed, could result in inefficiency. Employee stress and burnout are a few effects. According to reports from the American Institute of Stress, 80% of workers and managers in the healthcare industry report feeling stressed out at work (Shenje & Wushe, 2019). An excessive workload and extended workdays are among the primary sources of stress.
As a result, workplace stress causes other issues like competitiveness among coworkers and a hostile work atmosphere. Burnout is a side effect of workload and job stress. Burnout, a form of ongoing job pressure that reduces effectiveness and depletes one’s energy, is described by the World Health Organization (Shenje & Wushe, 2019). Because they feel they have no control over their workload, overworked workers become burned out. Employees lose mental contact with their coworkers and become pessimistic about their situation.
Furthermore, a heavy workload harms one’s career in the healthcare industry. While it may seem contradictory, work overload might harm an otherwise promising career. According to the Harvard Business Review, when employees are given more work than they can logically handle, their work performance suffers (Gu & Itoh, 2020). Working long hours at high speed may garner applause initially, but the work mode quickly becomes the expected norm and performance benchmark. A little inability to consistently deliver high-quality work may harm merit pay eligibility, performance assessments, and promotions. Furthermore, workload negotiations may fail if the employer is not sympathetic and believes the employee is inefficie
