    First off acknowledge the demand spike and set expectations as to how long it is expected to last. Engage with the teams and listen to any concerns regarding workload. Make a point to recognise both publicly and privately the efforts of team members as this can help morale. Work to prioritise the tasks so that the most urgent are completed first and look to provide flexible working hours where possible to manage energy levels. Consider adjusting future staffing forecasts to adjust for this sudden spike.

    Para prevenir el agotamiento y mantener la motivación del equipo ante picos de demanda, sigue estas estrategias clave: ✅ Gestión de carga de trabajo → Usa herramientas de planificación para distribuir tareas de manera equilibrada. ✅ Desconexión digital → Establece momentos sin correos ni reuniones fuera de horario para reducir el estrés. ✅ Reconocimiento y recompensas → Incentiva el esfuerzo con beneficios tangibles y reconocimiento público. ✅ Apoyo emocional y mentoría → Fomenta espacios de diálogo y acompañamiento para fortalecer la resiliencia.

    Para prevenir o esgotamento, é essencial promover uma gestão de tempo eficiente, com uma distribuição equilibrada das tarefas e incentivos ao descanso adequado. Além disso, ferramentas de automação podem otimizar processos e aliviar a carga. Manter a equipe motivada requer reconhecer esforços individuais e coletivos, criando um ambiente de colaboração. Incentivar o desenvolvimento contínuo e oferecer recompensas pelo desempenho também é fundamental para sustentar a motivação.
