Topic: A solution in increasing work productivity while considering the workers health

Article Headline: New Office Hours Aim for Well Rested, More Productive Workers

Article Date: December 24, 2018

Problems
 Some workers sleep during work
 There will be many complaints concerning fatigue
 A lot of workers will be working under stress
 There will be performance decrement
 The case of accidents will surely increase
 Work effectiveness will be reduced
 The productivity of the workspace will continue to
decrease
Solutions
 Work shifts should be assigned according to
the person’s biological rhythm which is also
known as their “chronotype”.
 Managers should concentrate on observing on
one’s health because the performance of one
worker could affect the output of other
workers.
 Developing workplace health initiatives, tools
and methods for empowering companies and
other work settings to take better care of
health, without unduly relying on professional
health services.

My Ideas My Ideas

 Because of the decided work time that isn’t able to
match a certain person’s body time, it can cause
multiple stress that may lead to fatigue most of all and
other health related issues that may lead to a downfall of
that person’s productivity, efficiency or its overall
performance which not only affects the workspace but
also other workers who are also struggling to carry their
efficiently.
I think that the solution the article has proposed was a
good one since it is an efficient way to boost the worker’s
health and performance at the same time. I also think that
they should add counseling/ personal interviews from
time to time in order to understand the problems that are
holding them back more which may affect the teams
productivity and not only gives a deeper understanding to
one but also can give the worker a clearer mind to be able
to rest well for a more productive work in the future.
