Effective Time Management

The workplace is becoming an ever more demanding and toxic environment. With individuals often having to deal with close deadlines, complex projects, vague working relationships and conflicting priorities with the utmost efficiency.

Missed deadlines, avoidable errors, complaints and conflicts are all things that most people would want to avoid, but unfortunately are having to endure on a regular basis. The impact on any organization of ineffective time management is clear, however the impact on the individual may be less obvious. Especially if they are using short-term coping strategies that seem to work, such as working excessive hours.

This course introduces time management tools and techniques that allow participants to manage their hectic schedules more effectively and feel more in control. The training also enables participants to identify areas of their job where time could be better utilized and take the necessary actions to achieve that.
