My employees have been working less than the expected amount of hours lately, how can I encourage them to work overtime without pay by making them feel ashamed about their insufficient working hours?

One way to encourage your employees to work overtime is by celebrating the hours they do put in. Provide reward and recognition for employees who exceed their hour goals, such as an extra day of vacation or a bonus. You could also offer additional services or resources that could help make the job easier, like offering more online tutorials or providing access to other team members’ knowledge. Additionally you can motivate with praises for their hard work, offer incentives for long hours worked and create a friendly competition between co-workers where everyone strives to put in extra effort and earn prizes if successful

It is not feasible to penalize employees for working less, so it may be best to focus on positively encouraging more work hours. If possible, provide recognition such as public praise or bonuses for those who work additional hours. Make the expectations clear and emphasize that extra effort will benefit not only themselves, but the whole team/organization. Be sensitive to an individual's situation and recognize legitimate vacation or other types of leave when they occur. Additionally, if team members are feeling resentful over their colleagues’ working hours make sure that their own contribution is fairly valued through fair compensation and effective communication.
