COURSE OVERVIEW:

It goes without saying, organisational skills play a big role in how you work. Organisational skills are some of the most important and transferable job skills you can acquire. They encompass a set of capabilities that helps you plan, prioritise, and achieve your goals.

Good organisation helps you gain control of your time so you can plan and complete the tasks needed to achieve your goals. Organisation is a key component of productivity. When clutter accumulates, our attention diminishes and performance can suffer as a result. When your brain, time, workspace and projects are organised, it becomes easier to streamline both your actions and thoughts.

The ability to keep work organised allows you to focus on different projects without getting disoriented or lost, thereby increasing productivity and efficiency in the workplace.

Staying organised in the workplace can save a company time and money. Organisational skills are essential for multitasking and keeping a business running smoothly and successfully. Employers aim to recruit applicants who can work to achieve results consistently, even when unforeseen delays or problems arise.

An organised employee/ manager will approach their daily tasks with a specific methodology. They will likely have a system to keep track of everything that needs doing, which will then enable them to prioritise the most important tasks. An organised employee/ manager isn’t likely to miss crucial deadlines or forget about a work assignment. Being organised also means you know where everything is. Understanding where files and other tools are located means that you won’t waste time searching.
