At the end of your shift, work remains that the next shift will continue. What is the BEST approach to the handoff?

Mail processing is continuous across shifts, so smooth handoffs matter to the whole operation. The best approach is to leave your area organized, clearly communicate the status of the work to the incoming shift, and set them up to continue without confusion. Leaving without a word, concealing unfinished work, or forcing the next shift to start cold all create errors and delays. The exam rewards teamwork that extends beyond your own shift — recognizing that you are part of a larger, ongoing operation and helping the next group succeed is a mark of a strong team member.
