Time Management – The Forgotten Skill
In today’s world there are more distractions than ever before. Emails, phone notifications and social media are just a few tasks and distractions that can all impact a company’s overall productivity.
So what’s the solution, to simply ban the internet? Shock and horror, unfortunately not (as much as we all wish we could slow the world down). It’s neither practical, nor appropriate in this day and age. Unless of course we all become hermits and go off grid. But alas we digress.
Why not rather empower staff to take control of their workload by giving them real time management tools they can easily understand and implement.
Because, let’s face the bare facts of a non-hermits life – it’s not just about productivity, poor time management causes staff to become stressed and this in turn leads to poor morale and high staff turnover.
A recent study revealed that 90% of employees felt that better time management would lead to improved productivity and reduced stress at work.
That’s pretty revealing right?
It seems an undeniable fact that more investment in your team would give them and your company a much needed boost in productivity, in overall morale and the all-important work life balance. All roads lead to the obvious conclusion that proper time management is business critical.
The Importance of Time Management in the Workplace
A successful time management strategy involves the 3 P’s.
Planning ahead, Prioritizing tasks, and avoiding Procrastination.
The goal isn’t to cram as much as possible into a day, but to make good use of the time available to achieve your goals. Work smart and avoid becoming busy fools.
The most effective way to achieve the 3 P’s is to identify your most important tasks and then do these tasks during the time of the day when your focus and energy levels are at their highest, and to avoid distractions during this period.
Some of the other topics covered on our time management workshops include avoiding common time wasters, managing email effectively, effective meeting management, delegation, taking regular breaks and more.
