improve productivity in office five tips
TRANSCRIPT
Communication
One of the most important skills in any business is effective communication. When
you are communicating with staff and clients, make sure that all your instructions
and information is understood the way you intend it to be.
With communication, clarity is the number one objective. Just by speaking clearly,
concisely and checking that the person you are communicating with has
understood what you have said, you can save precious time by getting what you
need first time.
Planning
Plan your project or tasks properly. Break it down into smaller steps and assign a
date by which each step should be completed. Delegate any of the project that
can be done by someone else, but keep it closely supervised as to who is doing
what and when you need it completed by. Once you have planned how you will do
the project, you will find that you are less likely to put it off until the last minute.
Prioritizing
Jumping around from one project to another, not feeling as if you have accomplished anything each day or constantly rushing to finish on deadlines is a
sign that you need to reorganize how you approach your task scheduling and work prioritizing strategy.
Each morning go through your in box and prioritize its contents. Once you know what has to be done, how urgently it is needed, and how long it is likely to take to complete, add the tasks in order of importance to your work schedule for the day.
When the mail comes in, prioritize any items that need attention, and then add these to your work schedule.
Delegation
If you have team members working on your same project, delegate some of your
routine tasks which you can quickly instruct someone else to take responsibility of.
Remember to communicate the instructions clearly and ensure they are
understood before giving the task to your colleague. Once you delegate
something, just a quick review to ensure it’s done correctly and on time is all that
you should need to do.
Accountability
Every employee needs to be well aware that he is accountable for his actions and
decisions, and he can neither pass the buck or pass the blame to someone else.
This will help him work more meticulously ,
Take cautious rather than reckless decisions, and not take advantage of his
place, position or relationship with his superiors.
