I have 10 nurse techs who all work together in the same department. They really are pretty much friends and friendly, but they all want to know who is doing what when so that no one has to do more than anyone else. They get very irritable with each other if they one feels she is having to work harder or do more than the others. What do you suggest?

The Team Doc Says…

This is easy. Just have a daily meeting with your team to discuss who is doing what that day. Talk about who can help the person with the heaviest load. Then put it into action.

This process will help reinforce the bond within your team and may help with some knowledge transfer among the team members.
