Starting your new Job!

When you start your new job there are many aspects to consider along with the actual duties you will be doing. Effective time management will make the transition into your new role so much easier by developing techniques to reduce pressures and to make the best use of your time.

WORK AREA

Organising your workspace includes ensuring the materials and equipment you need to do the job are close to hand.
Ensure lighting is positioned to avoid eye strain, that your desk accommodates all your paperwork and that your chair is well designed and comfortable.
Keeping an uncluttered desk avoids that snowed under feeling and enables you to concentrate on prioritising the tasks with ease.
Place your paperwork in logical orders of action, information and waste. Keep filing up to date and regularly throw away or archive information that you do not need.

COMMUNICATION

Develop and maintain positive lines of communication with your colleagues and managers by providing them with necessary information and using internal e-mails effectively.
Plan your calls with an outline of the objective and what you are going to say, keeping the call concise, informative and polite.
Make sure that urgent deadlines take priority.
Arrive at meetings on time and well prepared. Try to come up with our own solutions to problems but stick to the facts and don’t give opinions unless they are asked for, important or relevant.
When attending meetings, work out the purpose of the meeting and whether there is a set agenda. Notes should be taken clearly containing essential information on what was discussed and agreed.
