Improving writing skills and examination techniques

¶ … workload being placed on Ruth and the low quality of work that is resulting from this. Ruth complains of extra work, and of being tired all the time while Jack Snyder is not stepping in to shoulder some of additional responsibility. There are some important steps that need to be taken to help complete their work on time while the organization doesn't have to spend additional money on overtime. Efficiency and equal distribution of work are the keys here but more important than that would be a time frame that must be given to both Ruth and Jack to complete their work.

I will take the following few steps to create a work plan that will work for both people working under me:

I will re-evaluate the work assigned to Ruth and Jack

Then re-distribute work equally between Ruth and Jack to make sure one is not overworked

c. I will then give a specific but reasonable time-frame for completion of each task

d. Then I will make sure that overtime is not taken without a valid reason.

PERSONAL LIFE:

It has also been discussed that personal life of both employees is smooth and there are no major issues that might be affecting their work.

RUTH'S SITUATION

Ruth is apparently overworked and feels under constant pressure for completion of tasks and hence often opts for overtime.

JACK'S SITUATUION:

Jack appears underworked since he is relaxed, comes in late, but always gives high quality work. This is because he doesn't have to concentrate on too much work and he can thus do as he pleases and stay relaxed. The only person suffering because of this uneven distribution of work is Ruth.

WORKPLAN:

Some of Ruth's responsibilities will not be shared with Jack. Jack will take over few assignments that had previously been assigned to Ruth. Both will be given a timeframe within which to complete their assignments. Jack will not be allowed to come in late or leave early. He will have to stay in the office during office hours and will have to complete his work on time. Ruth will also have to finish work on time, and she will not be allowed overtime unless there is a very valid reason for that. Just because she failed to complete her work on time during office hours doesn't mean she can take overtime. Instead she will need to prove that it was because of heavy workload that she couldn't complete it during office hours alone. Secondly this way, if Jack shows that he is able to complete his work on time and doesn't require overtime, we will know that Ruth's excuse for overtime is not valid and she is not completing work on time because she is not paying close attention. We shall also be able to compare work quality etc. when work is equally distributed.
