A business of over 150 employees helps global companies scale their IT and digital resources. The evolving industry has created hurdles for the company, however, leading to operational issues and dissatisfied employees. The company's HR manager, Jonathan, needed to quickly find a resource to address the issues and change the tone of the work environment.

The Problem

Jonathan pinpointed two major issues his team was struggling with:

1. An overwhelming amount of information

The team was overwhelmed by endless streams of information from emails, dashboards, etc. With so much unfiltered information coming in, there was barely any time left for focused work, and deadlines were often missed. 

2. Burnout and resentment 

On top of the day-to-day challenges, employees were feeling burned out from heavy workloads and endless tasks. Many felt stuck in their roles, with little room to grow or develop new skills. Employees became disengaged, and tension grew within the team, which created a stressful work environment.

Jonathan desperately needed to find a new approach to boost morale and help employees manage their workloads.

The Solution

To resolve the team's challenges, Jonathan purchased two modules: Improve Time Management: Rapid Refocus and Maximize the Minutes. After purchasing and downloading them, Jonathan sent the modules to team manager Michelle to be the first manager in the company to prepare and facilitate the meetings.

After using the meeting enhancements to easily and quickly prep for the meetings, Michelle decided to schedule the meetings on the next two Fridays. Each Friday would begin with the meeting video, followed by a game, ending with refreshments and snacks. Michelle discovered that midday was best for her team as it provided a break from daily tasks. She found that following the meetings, her team was much more energized and less distracted when diving back into tasks.

Here's what each module discussed and taught the team:

Improve Time Management: Rapid Refocus

This module empowered employees to refocus on high-priority tasks while minimizing distractions. The meeting module introduced techniques such as identifying Areas of Impact (AOI) to better allocate time, improve concentration, and achieve results.

Maximize the Minutes

This module highlighted the value of time as a finite resource and provided practical strategies for goal-setting and time use. Employees learned how to create more structured schedules, set intentional goals, and maximize productivity in both their professional and personal lives.

Results

The combination of the two modules created a lasting workplace transformation by addressing both operational issues and burnout. 

Here are the outcomes:

• Easier info processing: employees now use data prioritization strategies to avoid information overload and stay focused on important tasks.
• Improved efficiency: team members consistently complete projects faster by minimizing distractions and using focused time blocks.
• Enhanced productivity: employees gained clarity on time management, allowing them to set and achieve daily goals.
• Better engagement: with career development strategies included in the modules, employees reported feeling more confident in their roles and appreciated the improved work-life balance.
• Better quality of life: staff experienced reduced stress levels and greater satisfaction at work, which translated into a more positive office culture overall.
