EMPOWERMENT

The dynamic distribution of work is absolutely key to productive and efficient work, meeting customer requirements and  retaining talented staff.

Organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the various drivers such as:-

• Flexible prioritising work
• Efficient process management
• Talent management
• Work-life balance

“We need to emphasise the importance of the quality of working lives and obtaining the best from team members giving them some flexibility to interpret their roles and work in the most effective way.”

Effective assignment of work enables staff to move to take on more responsibility along with innovative ways of working.

When we look at problems, we often look at them piecemeal rather than looking at the way work is distributed and managed. Work assignment is a way of examining how work is allocated and asking ourselves what it is we can do to improve outcomes.

The Process:

Accurate assignment of work aims to help you both distribute work effectively and achieve more effective working practices.  During assignments we will meet on a regular basis during which we will take you on a proven step by step process to help you delegate work effectively.

This needs to begin with an examination of work roles and then move on to the briefing and allocation process.  There are many specific strategies, which can contribute to flexibility, efficiency and work satisfaction.

• The work assessment process is concerned with targets and output
• The briefing process is concerned with distribution of work to staff
• The support processes are concerned with help and assistance
