Aims and features

Time management is now again receiving a lot of attention.

Recently, time management has been receiving a lot of attention again. It is because higher labor productivity is required to achieve results with the limited manpower that might be reduced but never be increased.

Try to control your management of work rather than time itself.

 How many days have you ever had that you can say “I have no regrets today.”? Nowadays, people are required to handle more tasks with limited manpower. Aren’t you oppressed with too much work which never ends in a limited amount of time you have?
 Everyone is given 24 hours a day equally. You cannot control time itself. It is “your work” management that you should take control of.
 Our time management training is designed to encourage your business improvement to be enjoyable with the minimum effort after intensive research and analysis of how you use your time both at your work and in private life.

Personal time management and organizational time management

 Think “What is working all about?” first when you deal with time management. An individual accomplishes tasks. And individuals co-operate each other and achieve goals as a team. Both can be called “work”. Therefore, there are both personal time management that is initiated individually and organizational time management that is initiated by a team or the whole organization.
 As for the personal time management, you improve your time management skills by breaking down your tasks into units, making a list of them, and prioritizing them to accomplish them one by one efficiently.
 As for the organizational time management, you improve management efficiency by aggressively sharing works that one cannot accomplish alone and facilitating communication in the organization to strengthen teamwork.

 Generally speaking, in Western countries, people seem to recognize working to be handled individually rather than in teams. Each individual employee’s task is clearly shown in the job description. He/she fully focuses on achieving his/her tasks within a given time according to the description.
 On the other hand, in Japan, people value “teamwork” when working. For Japanese people, work should be handled in cooperation with the whole team members to achieve goals rather than individually.

Insource’s time management training improves efficiency of the whole team.

Our time management training teaches how to improve efficiency of the whole team by facilitating communication in addition to the methods to improve individual work efficiency. You will be able to promote time management more steadily in your organization because personal and organizational efforts for efficiency will create a synergy effect.

Comments from participants

    • I learnt how to review my own position at a situation and the status of a task from a different angle. Felt like really can achieve the goal set 3 months in advance, I now have got a new target.
    • The training was very useful because I had a difficulty in the use of time. It was a good opportunity to review my own way of working. I will do my best making use of today's training text.
    • I thought I had to do everything on my own as surrounded by seniors, but I learnt the importance of involving people actively. I also learnt the way of solving problems that I couldn't find on my own by listening to various opinions. 
    • I would like to organize "the environment of my working place" and "tasks per day or week" in order to improve the ability of organizing. The explanation of the instructor was easy to understand the contents of the training. I wish we had more time to discuss in a group in the training. Starting tomorrow, I will work efficiently improving the ability of organizing by starting from what I can now.

Particularly, we have many instructors with high ability of organizing (the ability to organize thoughts in the brain, actual tasks, and working environment). Their training mixed with a variety of experiences have been raising the satisfaction of our training participants even more.
