Research conducted in 2007 with 2,500 companies found that the causes of wasted time – workforce inefficiency – were

• inadequate supervision
• poor management planning
• poor communication
• IT problems, low morale, and lack or mismatch of skills

Certainly, a lot of time is wasted in organisations when there is not enough priority on good planning and communication. Providing effective support and supervision is also critical, so that people feel confident and knowledgeable carrying out their role and responsibilities.
And why should you personally be interested in good time management? Well, good time management makes you successful! That is because you get more done on time, in a more productive way.
