 )
According to an article in the German IT newspaper Computer Zeitung (Nr 18 from 2nd of May 2005), one third of all IT people are chronically exhausted.
Reasons are: to much information, time, achievement and dismissal pressure
Symptoms: exhaustion, concentration problems, memory disturbance, sleep problem, nervousness, tiredness
One tip that they give to managers is to give more acknowledgment to the work of employees.
This reminds me a company I worked for in the beginning of the 1990's. The CEO each morning walked to every employee (around 80), shacked his hand, asked how he is going and if there is any problem.
He reminded most important problems, asked managers for details and instructed to take care about them.
This was his way to not be catched by the shedule chicken. It took him around 30-60 minutes every day, but I'm sure that in total he saved a lot of time as he noticed problems much earlier.
