You are working quickly to meet a deadline but notice your error rate is increasing. What is the best approach?

BALANCING SPEED and ACCURACY: When rushing causes errors to climb, the best approach is to find a SUSTAINABLE PACE that maintains acceptable accuracy. Errors create misrouted mail, exceptions, and rework that ultimately slow the operation MORE than a steady, accurate pace would. Prioritizing raw speed over accuracy, ignoring errors, or stopping entirely all score poorly. The 476 VEA rewards understanding that quality and speed must be balanced — accurate processing at a sustainable pace serves the operation better than fast, error-filled work. In processing, downstream error correction is expensive; the assessment values employees who maintain quality rather than sacrificing it for apparent speed.
