About 25 interested people followed with great interest the evening workshop "Workload Management", which was held in the main hall of the KIVI NIRIA building.
During the workshop, it was explained very clearly how, as a busy commercial engineer, one can tackle workload and regain control of one's overloaded schedule. Two main themes were discussed to manage workload:
How does one set the right priorities?
How to deal with interruptions;
When to say 'No';
How to prioritise my emails.
What system can one apply to work in an organised way?
Another successful evening with animated discussions!
Description
Workload management is all about tackling your workload yourself. Why do you experience workload and your colleague, with the same work, does not? How different is your way of working and couldn't it be better? Would you like to take control of your agenda (again)? How do you get through all those e-mails every day? Perhaps there is no new answer to these questions and you already knew what you should do. This workshop is aimed at getting you to do it. You can decide which part you want to start with in the workplace: it's entirely up to you.
Target group
Anyone who experiences workload or manages people who experience workload.
