The Gift of the Time Banker

Dedicated, passionate, qualified and experienced workers lose out on employment opportunities because of their age.
Manage Time Spent On Turnover
All businesses consider turnover a terrible waste of money and a big drain in time management and productivity. When you want your managers or associates to take specific actions, you must first have a crystal clear picture of the actions you would like these people to take. Having clarity on the actions is the perfect starting point.
Empowering Your Time Management Through Cost Acknowledgment and Deadlines
The truth is that your Time Management will be compromised unless you put the car in gear and move your foot onto the accelerator. If you are going to stay still or work around the project but not on the project, you are “Getting Nowhere”. Maybe you can relate to this?
