Benefits of running our in-house How to Manage Resources course

Managing Change – Some departments are 100% confident their department cannot run effectively with fewer people. This course helps your people deal with change and maintain productivity.

Staying Positive – Sagging morale levels are often related to less staff. This course helps everyone to agree that remaining positive is a more rewarding behaviour and reduces levels of anxiety.

A breath of fresh air – For every problem, there is an opportunity. Maybe this is the optimal time to re-examine existing processes and identify and remove any inefficiencies

Clarifying Roles – The number one cause of conflict in departments is role ambiguity. With less resources, this may be an ideal time to rewrite job descriptions and departmental objectives.

Breaking down communication silos – Some interdepartmental processes are seamless and others are not. With fewer resources, you need to ensure information flows transparently and get rid of any bottlenecks.

Maybe picking up the phone can solve the problem rather than endless keyboard chatter? However, AI is creating significant challenges for managing email correspondence. For example, AI-generated complaints can now stretch to 5,000 words—well beyond the persistence of manual efforts—resulting in longer processing times. Our Email Management Training helps professionals develop strategies to handle these modern challenges efficiently and maintain effective communication workflows.

HR teams are inundated with internal complaints. The amount of external email complaints is now dwarfed by the huge volume of internal email complaints. Since every email is a legal document, it demands careful attention, further adding to the ever-increasing workload.

A recent survey found that email causes more stress than traffic jams. This Managing Mail program offers practical strategies not only for email inbox management but also for improving your overall time management. You’ll enhance your professional writing skills and boost workplace communication effectiveness. By the end of the course, you’ll feel more organised, less stressed, and better equipped to manage digital communication demands.

Take this test and if you answer yes to 5 or more question, this course is ideal for you:

• Does email interrupt your other important daily tasks?
• Do you receive more than 50 emails a day?
• Do you habitually check your inbox when you are near your workstation?

Managing Relationships With Direct Reports & Peers Plan of Action

Often, people who perceive they are in the middle of opposing views get frustrated. They don’t realise that everyone is often in between opposing views. A prime example is your CEO. If you think a CEO is not stuck in the middle, you are completely wrong. CEOs spend their careers managing various expectations and get a fair amount of dissatisfaction from angry stakeholders. Consider a school principal. School Principals walk a tightrope between employee expectations, legislative requirements and a child’s wellbeing every day.

This program helps participants manage the relationship with their manager and the relationship with their direct reports simultaneously.

How do you currently manage relationships with peers and direct reports? Do you agree with the following statement?

1. Delegated and allocated tasks are delivered seamlessly.

2. I feel comfortable with my relationship with my boss and my reports.

3. I understand the need for opposing wants and needs.

4. I believe I juggle tasks well and meet critical deadlines.

5. I provide the required information to complete the task.

6. I have a trusted relationship with my peers and reports.

7. I do not feel any resentment towards my peers or my direct reports.

8. I can build rapport even with diametrically opposed stakeholders.

9. I search for win/win outcomes even when it seems impossible.

10. I monitor the progress of projects and give upward and downward feedback.

11. I rely on customer feedback to feed forward information to reports and peers.

12. I am very approachable by reports and peers.

13. I actively engage my peers and reports.

14. I encourage a culture of open, honest and courageous feedback.
