Bring focus to your workload
We are all working in new ways and dealing with unpredictable situations. This makes managing our everyday work even more challenging. As soon as we have started a task, things change. Everyone is too busy to plan – which results in ad-hoc demands and workload spiralling out of control.
This virtual interactive session gives you space to explore where things can go wrong, gives practical information and offers techniques and best practice to help you manage your every day work. This will help bring focus so you can plan, prioritise and adapt to make your day less overwhelming and more productive.
