Time Management
One of the most repeated phrases you will hear in offices up and down the country is “we don’t have enough time”. Well that’s no surprise really, time is a limited resource, once you have lost it you cannot gain it back, which is why it is so important to manage it effectively. All to often staff are simply asked to work harder, to put in more effort to get the job done, but this can create stressful environments and ultimately performance will suffer. So whether you assign a pound value to it or not, time has a value.
