Effective managers need to plan and allocate their time. By planning ahead and concentrating on important events the value of their time is maximised.

Good time managers have a sense of purpose and maintain excellent working relationships. By avoiding unproductive activities, they have time for colleagues and tend to suffer from less stress. Away from work, enthusiasm and control enables them to enjoy a high quality of life despite the demands of their jobs.

This programme recognises that while the problem of time management is universal, individuals have different needs. Participants will bring a time log of how they currently use their time. This will be analysed to identify potential savings.
