Innovative Construction Consultants Raise Productivity

Challenge: Our client, a leading construction consultancy has identified a consistent need at all levels in the business for Time Management training. On closer analysis with POD, this is staff saying they feel overwhelmed by the demands of their jobs.

Solution: A one day Time Management workshop allowing delegates to reflect on their overall objectives, analyse what they are doing, and prioritise what they need to do to be fully productive and feel in control of their job. This concludes with an action planning session so that each person goes back to work with a clear idea of the changes they need to make. This is followed up with a one hour, individual coaching session between the trainer and each delegate to review progress.

Result: Revitalised and more productive delegates and a programme that is in great demand. Typical individual case studies are:

  1. The middle manager who realised that he wastes 20% of his time doing tasks that the new hires would really benefit from doing. This 20% is now delegated allowing him to spend that time taking on new challenges from his boss.
  2. The woman who realised she is a ‘pleaser’, or someone who will say yes to others and so fail to prioritise her own work. She has transformed from being anxious, harassed and stressed to being assertive and creative with her internal clients.
  3. The business generator who realised that he was spending only 20% of his time on acquisition and 80% on other things. He has redressed the balance and already secured two new clients.

The result is a training programme that is translating directly through into the bottom line as well as developing individuals and creating a more balanced productive workplace.
