Save Fuel - Driving Tips

Image
By
Do not use the clutch too much.


Switch the vehicle off at red light stops.

Drive in gear corresponding to the speed.

Get your vehicle serviced regularly.

A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50%

Driving at 90 kilometers an hour rather than 100 can reduce fuel consumption by 10%

Under inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 5%

A loaded roof rack will increase fuel consumption by as much as 5% in highway driving.

Even an empty roof rack can increase consumption by 1%. If the carrier is not attached to the vehicle, remove it when not in use.

Avoid "Jack Rabbit"(fast acceleration of a motor vehicle from a stationary position) starts, not only do they increase fuel consumption, but are hard on your tires. Anticipating stops and avoiding abrupt stops will decrease fuel consumption and increase the life of your brakes and tires.

Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consuming drag.

Maintain a steady speed.

Accelerate slowly on gravel or slippery roads.

Avoid unnecessary braking.

Reviving the engine just before turning off the ignition costs extra fuel and may cause engine damage.

Take advantage of rolling resistance rather than heavy braking to help slow you down. This deceleration technique is one of the best for fuel saving.

Avoid using the air conditioner at lower speeds.

Changing spark plugs regularly can save a lot.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
