Introduction This one-day course
in Time and Performance Management
aims to present delegates with the tools to effectively manage
their time at work. People from all industries often suggest
that they know how to manage their time, however, studies
show that even with a short course on this topic, people can
make vast improvements and claim upwards of one hour
per day extra without working overtime!
The necessity of
this Time & Performance Management
Course In today’s fast-paced world there
is a strong need for individuals who can perform to the best
of their abilities and who are effective at managing the resources
that are available to them. One of these resources is time.
Time is an interesting resource: it is invisible, it cannot
be increased or decreased (there are only ever 24 hours in
a day) and it is spent the moment it is received. We pay much
attention to how we manage and spend other resources, such
as the Human Resource or Financial Capital, yet we pay little
attention to the management of time, often expecting that
staying an extra few hours at work will produce a multitude
of returns. But, what if we had been more effective during
our regular day – and indeed, how can we be more effective
during those overtime hours? This course aims to answer the
above questions and provide you with a "toolbox"
of skills that you can take away with you and practically
implement in your current work environment.
In-House
and Public Courses PsyAsia International is pleased
to offer this time & performance management course as
an in-house course as well as a public course. The public
course has been designed to cover the essentials of time and
performance management in one day at the
request of our previous and enquiring delegates. Our in-house
course may likewise be provided over a full day, or, alternatively,
over two half-days. For organizations that are able to devote
more time to the important issue of time and performance management,
two full-days are more common. Here we use a greater number
of practical exercises to reinforce the learned principles.
For in-house courses, we usually also make a company
visit prior to the course to ensure our
understanding of the complexities of time management specific
to each client organization's working environment.

Course Facilitator(s) PsyAsia’s Time & Performance
Management course is different from other courses of this nature
because it is presented by organizational psychologists who
have experience of management, as well as training course design
and training delivery that incorporates the complexities of
human learning. Our psychologists have international experience
of training all levels of employee in many different types of
organizations. Being psychologists, they understand the human
issues behind time management and convey these to our delegates
sensitively.
Syllabus Change Note:
Prior to every course that we run, it is our policy to consult
