The front-line communication. I’ve found the blame game is strong. I failed on my shift because the previous shift didn’t set me up or tell me about or show up on time!

Documented S2S communication will remove many of these obstacles.

Don’t over complicate this one. I have a paragraph at the end of my shift checklists.

This is documented, sure you can have a discussion with the next shift but generally, this is written / digital only.

Purpose

To inform the next shift of what was accomplished and what still needs to be done. This should be no more than a line or two and only concerns the next shift and the previous shift. More than a line or two and this should be addressed in a weekly one-on-one.

Audience

Unit shift management.

Example

If you don’t want to use a checklist, here are a few other ideas:
