IntroductionI am writing an assessment to find and understand the best ways to manage myself as a potential team leader. I will produce a questionnaire for my colleagues to answer about the importance of time management and its relationship to the causes and symptoms of stress. I will use time and stress management techniques to help my colleagues by explaining how time management can be useful at work and in home life. Time management can make life so much easier that it's a tool we often overlook and don't realize how much time we're actually wasting. . Effective time management saves you time and also allows you to make better decisions about what says “yes” or “no”. There are many reasons for good time management, such as improving productivity in the workplace by setting goals and prioritizing work by ranking tasks in order of importance. This can help employees by removing bad workplace habits and ending “I’ll do it later” procrastination. It also helps make life at home less chaotic and encourages you to plan family time ensuring that the time is used wisely. My goal is to show how we can minimize stress through time management, which also helps improve team production and working relationships. I can give advice on how stress management help is available and how to obtain it. Strengths and weaknesses of time management I developed a short questionnaire to see what was affecting my colleagues in terms of stress so to determine which stress and time management techniques would be best suited. . Responses were given on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 = relaxed, 2 = OK, 3 = irritated, 4 = bored, 5 = stressed. Questions Colleagues 1 2 3 4 5 Total1.

You can start with some simple recreational activities such as exercise or hobbies and perhaps even relax with a spa day. When you ask Romec for work help, you can speak to colleagues or have a 1-2-1 with your team leader and they will do it. suggest other means of support. Romec has several ways to support its staff with AXA healthcare support and the CWU union will also help if you are a member. They also offer support called EAP which is set up to help with a number of issues at home and at work, but is aimed not only at employees but also their immediate families. This is a great program to help employees and is confidential, so even people who have difficulty talking to someone they know can easily get help. This is also available from external supports such as the Samaritans or ISMA (International stress Management association) UK.
