Introduction to the course
Successful people set themselves goals and objectives. They know what they need to do and how to do it and plan to help them achieve it. How you plan and prioritise your day are two of the critical skills necessary to succeed and add value to your organisation. Time is one of our most valuable resources, yet we don’t always manage it as effectively as possible. This can lead to a stressful working environment which will prevent you from being successful and achieving your goals.
Most people deny that they are stressed or affected by internal or external factors in the workplace. As the cost of stress to the employer continues to grow, organisations must recognise stress in their employees and train staff and management to manage stress productively. A recent survey showed that 1 in 5 people report their work to be very or extremely stressful, citing the nature of their work, relationships at work or their employer as the cause.
This highly interactive KC Academy Setting Priorities, Time Management & Stress Reduction training course will give you the tools and techniques needed to manage your time & stress proactively and effectively.
