Time Study and Work Measurement
| |
| A successful business will set expectations for its employees, and balance workload, manage constraints, calculate staffing levels and crew size, schedule; pull waste and non-value-added activity out. Objective work measurement is the place to start, for any organization where people or machines contribute to output, customer service, or cost.
My Amazon book, Time and Motion Study What, Why, and How-To, provides both management suggestions and hands-on guidance.

Productivity Study - Sales force effectiveness
| |
| Based on a Proudfoot Consulting study, salespeople were asked to give a realistic estimate of the time they devoted to five categories of activity. They were then questioned on how much time they would ideally like to spend in each category. Finally, they were observed on the actually time they used on each. (Hint: are you measuring these or at least showing your team that they are important?)
Then, they were observed on how effective they were, scoring them in eight key areas of competency. (Hint: are you looking for, training and coaching these competencies in your team?)

This refers to the early days of ‘work study’ when the aim (as it often still is today) is to reduce the time taken by, and the motion involved in, work.

Top 10 Tips for Effective Telecommuting - Get an Extra 19 Hours of Work Done Each Week
| |
| Professor E Jeffrey Hill has led a study to be published in the June 2010 issue of Journal of Family Psychology under the name “Finding an Extra Day or Two.” In the study, the researchers conclude that telecommuters can work an average of 57 hours per week without feeling the conflict with family life as compared to 38 hours for office bound employees. The study also concludes that the happiest and hardest working telecommuters also had flexible work hours and did spend time in the office.
Besides saving money for the company, telecommuting has been associated with increased job satisfaction and boosting morale, when it may be suffering. However, telecommuting alone does not create a happy, effective and hard working employee. Here are 10 tips for being a responsible, efficient, productive and successful telecommuter. |
