Description

The workplace is becoming more demanding than ever. Increased time pressures, complex projects, less defined working relationships and conflicting priorities.

Developing skills in these areas can have a real impact on productivity, and can help to ensure that individuals and teams remain healthy and motivated.
This course will enable participants to determine how they can make more
effective use of their time at work. It takes a good look at what is important and
