June 2010 Webinar: Employee Fatigue and the Bottom Line
Numerous studies have shown there is a direct correlation between employee fatigue, productivity and safety. Regardless of the industry your organization serves, overworked or over-tired employees can represent a significant risk to the health of your business, and the results can be disastrous. From lost profits to fines to increased regulatory oversight, your employees' overall ‘fitness for duty' can directly impact your bottom line. The key to avoiding such negative effects, however, is simple: leverage workforce management technology to proactively address employee fatigue.
