The Challenge – Balancing time managing staff and delivering success

Effective staff, task and project management is essential if you want to realise the full potential of your operations. However when your income or operations are derived from chargeable or evidenceable hours on timesheets, you really need to look to minimise the time you spend on all those non–productive tasks. The challenge is to find the right balance between spending time managing projects against time spent sourcing and delivering chargeable or evidenceable work.

Your problem may be working with multiple disparate systems.

Do you rely on a number of tools to manage your work and staff?

Manual systems, spreadsheets, email, inhouse developed job / project / timesheet systems as well as accounting software?

These systems may be inefficient, requiring re-entry of information, losing you potentially chargeable hours or expenses – even valuable data. Also, with no easy way of reporting, you are unlikely to be able to determine which projects are profitable and which are making you a loss. Or you are unable to provide the funders with the required information quickly. In addition, new users may find it hard to maintain or operate non–standard systems.

Are these your problems?
