What’s the best way to support your productive employees? Leave them alone

In any organization, the top performers earn respect–for their knowledge, for their savviness managing processes and tools, and of course, for their productivity. This respect is well deserved, but it can make them victims of their own success. Companies lean on their most productive employees for everything: to take part in focus groups, manage process design sessions, give their input on every little issue that comes up, and in countless other ways. They may feel flattered by all the attention at first, but it can quickly lead to them becoming overworked and over-leveraged. 

If left unchecked, these productive employees will begin to experience burnout, have their workplace performance suffer, and quite possibly look elsewhere for work to escape the stress. How can your business avoid that outcome? If you want your employees to stick around and thrive, you have to support them the right way. For your top performers, that means leaving them alone.
