    How to reduce the high cost of turnover due to heavy workloads: IBM's Solution to this Vital HR concern
    A 2004 national study by the Families and Work Institute on Overwork in America found that almost half of US employees are overworked, 1/3 chronically overworked. IBM's internal surveys found that heavy workload inhibited an employee's ability to provide quality service to customers, posed a serious threat to employee retention, and sapped energy for creativity and innovation. To address this vital issue, IBM teamed up with ClearPicture to develop practical, high impact solutions that could be implemented immediately to improve individual, team and business performance.
