Effective Time Management

Category: Soft Skills Training

It’s one of those things that I’m sure we all wish that we had more of – ‘Time’. Unfortunately there are only so many hours in a day and therefore time is precious and the effective use of our time is key to working towards achieving our goals, completing projects and being successful.

When you know how to manage your time you gain control. Effective time management helps you to choose what to work on and when. This is essential if you’re to achieve anything of any real worth.

There are many hints, tips, tools and resources available to help us with our time management. What works for some people might not work for others. One thing that is important though is to have the personal desire and commitment to improve your time management as without this no amount of hints or tips or systems will work.  We’ve detailed below some points that might help you to manage your time better:

Plan Tomorrow Today

Don’t finish today until you have planned tomorrow. At the end of each day, think about the things that you need to get completed and write them down in order of priority. This way you won’t waste time first thing deciding what needs doing and when. [read more]

Organisational Change – Looking after those left behind

Category: Learning Hints and Tips

Organisational Change

Martin has kindly written the following article for us on Organisational Change – Looking after those left behind.

Looking after those left behind…….

In times of organisational re-structuring attention is quite rightly given to those that are being impacted and who are leaving the business due to redundancy. But beware of forgetting to spend time and effort thinking about the people that will remain in the ‘new organisation’ as well, otherwise it could cost you in the long run.

I have been lucky enough to work with some very large organisations over the years, most of who were almost in a constant state of change and business re-organisation, re-shaping or downsizing leading to redundancy for many roles. Naturally at times like this a lot of effort is put into making sure that those impacted by the loss of jobs are well cared for and given as much help as possible to find new employment opportunities.
