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.

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.
