A clear handover helps the next worker continue your work.
The idea
Use I have finished for completed work, still needs for work remaining, and please to make a request.
Examples
- I have cleaned the front desk.
- The evening team still needs to check the delivery.
- Please call the supplier before ten.
- There are two orders waiting for collection.
- The coffee machine is not working, so I left a note.
- Can you lock the back door at six?
