Troubleshoot office efficiency problems affecting many subdivisions

Symptom: many subdivisions in the same country (i.e. region) suffer low efficiency numbers. When you look into the subdivisions you can see this is caused by the office.

Facts: 

• This often happens after opening new subdivisions, hiring employees, or training employees in subdivisions.
• Your offices are the most critical bottleneck for growth. They limit the number of subdivisions and employees (as well as their qualification ) in each specific region.

Guideline:

• Put focus on developing Top Manager qualification in "Management" (the skill relevant for offices). Always monitor office efficiency closely.
• After hiring, always check the workload of respective office
• After "Training completed" messages in your inbox, always check for required qualification adjustments and impacts on office workload

Steps:

1. Subdivisions in a region suffer from Office efficiency <100%
   
   
   
   
   
2. Check the office (example screenshot):
• Too much workload ! 
• Increase: salary (= qualification) of employees and quality of equipment, or number of employees
  
• make sure to respect minimum qualification, and match number of equipment and employees.
  
• Forecast TopManager: to get hints on allowed maximum number across all subdivision (as per Top Manager qualification)
  







3. Check subdivisions - which cause the workload on the office? In the office, click
   >> Subdivisions
   
• Sort by workload - descending 
• Start by looking into your highest workload subdivision. (pic: %31 workload caused )
• Reduce 1) quality of subdivision employees to the minimum required ! Consider using lower quality equipment in case. Further, consider reducing 2) number of employees or 3) put the subdivision "on holiday" to temporarily reduce workload on office 
• Re-check the "Office Workload" Forecast of your office, after applying your changes
  (note: the subdivisions page won't update the workload levels ad-hoc)
