Time management
When working, an employee must manage their time effectively in order to get the most benefit from their efforts. The employer will expect the employee to be as available and productive as possible on the job in order to get all the work done in the time allotted. Co-workers will expect the same.
When working, the employee must keep their level of productivity consistent throughout each workday. This will require teamwork, flexibility, alertness, planning and organisation.
As work instructions are given, it is important to:
- listen actively
- seek clarification through questioning
- summarise and reiterate.
Factors that may impact on work tasks include:
- weather
- other work demands
- staff shortages
- time and resources available
- safety requirements
- faulty/damaged machinery and equipment
- implementation of new work practices
- enterprise restructuring
- introduction of new technology
- changes in staff.
