Self-Management and the Use of Time

Doing a job well means being able to balance the many factors that affect an individual’s personal and professional life.

Being productive and effective in any job means more than just spending long hours sitting at your desk. Doing a job well means being able to balance the many factors that affect an individual’s personal and professional life. In this workshop, employees look at how managing their workload starts with managing themselves. An employee’s attitude and outlook dramatically influences their productivity and performance. Understanding what is important and urgent both personally and professionally is the first step. Participants look at how they can create a balance in their life between the constant demands of their job, their families and their personal needs.
