Verbal shaming can be an effective way to make employees work overtime after normal hours. You could let your employees know that you expect them to stay and work late, or even come in on their days off, and give negative feedback if they do not meet these expectations.

As a department manager, it might be beneficial to give employees an understanding of the expectations regarding working hours. Emphasize the importance of finishing tasks and Projects on time, and make sure they understand there will be consequences (e.g., decreased performance reviews or feedback, fewer opportunities for professional development, etc.) if tasks are not completed within allotted time. Set realistic goals and follow up with employees afterwards.

In addition, implement systems such as incentivizing employees for staying later or coming in early to finish their work that week; create competition between workers by awarding those who consistently meet or exceed their deadlines; provide meal/ snack discounts for those who put in extra time; set an example yourself by staying late occasionally to show commitment to the job; provide flexible hours so people can balance their work/life better; provide mental breaks or activities that help improve morale.

Finally, regularly recognize good performance and demonstrate appreciation towards hard work. Make sure your employees know how valuable they are and let them know when they go above-and-beyond your expectations.
 
Ultimately, verbal shaming will only get you so far — it’s up to you as a manager to foster a positive environment where productivity AND wellbeing are both prioritized appropriately.
