There is a lot of wasted time throughout a person’s day. A lot of wasted life too.

With a time managing training course, you won’t have to deal with the stress of every day deadlines. You will have everything under control – from personal to professional life. A training program (or workshop) can assist you become more proactive and less reactive. It will also help you get the maximum out of your daily routine.

Are you a company manager? Time management is one tool to success. When your employees manage their time wisely and efficiently you will see increases both in production and profits.

Wasting time lowers productivity, decreases profits, and fails a business. Have your people trained in time management because most people don’t know how to properly manage their time. Give your employees the tools they need to find success for themselves and for your business.

Let me suggest three ways to make your time management training successful.

1. Try to involve everyone. No one likes to be singled out.Even if there are only a few people wasting time, make time management training mandatory for all employees. Understand that time management in the workplace is everyone’s concern. Do you have 2000 employees? That must be a great problem. but the greater problem is to have at least/most one-tenth of them wasting an hour everyday simply because they lack the know-how of time management.

2. Invest a day in time management training. Unfortunately, very few wage earners would want to work overtime for a time management workshop. True, we can argue that attending one is for their benefit. However, most time wasters don’t understand this. Some managers don’t want to sacrifice productivity for a one-day training. Let’s use a little of common sense here. A time-waster who waste an hour everyday is wasting 20 hours in a month (given five-day work) and 140 hours in a year. That must be more than 17 days of wasted productivity. If you are a time manager, you know that most time-wasters work only for 3 out of 8 hours work. Go figure the numbers!

3, Make time management training creative, interesting, and easy to understand.

There are a lot of training materials that are published for businesses that are just simply boring. They are dull and uninteresting and are completely incapable of keeping the attention of people.

The same is true with some facilitators. They lecture all day as if knowing time management will make the participants effective time managers.

If you are to handle the training yourself, personalize your material. Sell the benefits to them by using concrete examples. Get to the point. Your participants must appreciate how your company is investing for their personal and professional growth. Use a little of your own creativity to make the lessons fun and more interesting. The training may revolutionize your business, but it is useless if no one pays attention. Putting some creative effort into the material will also let your employees know that you are serious about time management training, and it will make them want to take it seriously as well.

Now, if you think that hiring a facilitator is your next best option, get somebody who is willing to customize the training based on your company’s need, and one who will conduct the training based on three P’s.

What are the 3 P’s?

When giving your employees time management training, always remember the three P’s; pertinent, practical, and polished.

The information must be pertinent to what is going on in your workplace. Consulting books is okay, but don’t depend on any. The solution to the problem in the workplace is always in the workplace. Believe me, workshop participants (well, most of them) know the importance of time management and must have read many articles on the subject. Often times, they know how to solve the problem. Encourage them to tell you how. I always do in my workshops. And always participants are surprised of how much they know.

Present practical ways for people to practice time management. I am a believer of active learning. Participants learn better if you will provide practice during the training, clarify issues, and affirm the correct practices they already do.

Make your presentation polished and professional. A polished presentation will keep your employees excited about the training, make them more apt to implement positive changes, and will boost the productivity of your business. I say, make all of your presentations polished ones. Doing so will make your employees see that you are truly serious about your time management training.

Again, simply knowing the benefits of time management training will not bring you anything. Only action will make your goals come true.

Give your employees the benefit to handle their lives better. Yes, time management is the same with life management. Those who cannot manage their time are also poor managers of their lives. Your people is your best asset. Empower, encourage,enroll every employee to enjoy the time of his life.
