i think that the employees and workers should never be overburdened at all. However, despite all this, there are many people who become really lazy at work. I think that they should be motivated to work more. It might be possible that they might be burned out? So, how do you deal with this issue?
How to deal with lazy employees at the job?

I think the best remedy for laziness within the workplace is to initiate a division of labour policy on the organisation. There after compulsory achievements of set targets within the target lazy staffs should be implemented.
You are right, this will force them to wake up.
Set deadlines for tasks which need to be completed. Discuss with the lazy staff during performance assessment.
This will only backfire on you, especially if they have other alternatives. Sometimes, it may not be laziness, but inadequate orientation about what they need to do.
If it's really laziness, you can find other ways like warning them and then suspension.
People who are burdened shouldn't bother to work because they will be slowing everything down.
I think it's the job of the business manager to identify such people. That way the working process in the work environment will be hastened.
Speaking from experience, where i used to work, there are some employees who on their own decides to work when they feel like, come to the office when feel like, they are not lazy as you have said but they simply do not want to work. Warning them does not work, even when you suspend them, they get excited about it as they see it as a reason not to come to work. The Most effective way so far is letting them know they would be paid according to their work and actually sticking to your word. Yes they would definitely have other alternatives but warning and suspensions is not enough.
You are right, they will slow down the whole process.
First try to see the output as some workers are lazy but they are giving the required output, they are doing assigned task in time limit then give some motivation to them and not to take it serious. On the other hand if the worker is lazy and also not performing well then he required to be warned.

The main issue for lazy people is that their performance could be noted by the employers, no matter how lazy they are. Managers are there to observe every thing.
