Did you know?

The workplace is becoming more demanding than ever. Increased time pressures, complex projects, less defined working relationships and conflicting priorities. It can all add up to missed deadlines, avoidable errors, complaints and conflicts. The implications of poor time and task management is clear. Developing skills in these areas will have a real impact on productivity and can help to ensure that individuals and teams remain healthy and motivated.

The effective time and task management training course is designed to show participants how to manage themselves, their tasks and their relationships effectively by introducing powerful and flexible tools that are simple to integrate into a daily, weekly and monthly routine.
