We have all had it…the gutt wrenching feeling of being overwhelmed and stressed with work! As a manager, this cannot be ignored; and for good reason!
There are many articles online, giving advice on leadership, role clarity and development of staff that you can read. It remains a balancing act to master the art of managing stress levels of both your team and yourself. Being able to manage your employees’ workload is a great bonus. This week, we are sharing how a Fortix Enterprise platform can do this on a daily basis.

The left hand information box is filled out by the requestor. The box on the right shows how the recipient sees the importance and urgency of the request.
