Productivity Improvement using Microsoft Outlook®

“We feel that the course will provide best practice processes and significantly enhance individual and team productivity.  I recommend this course without reservation.” – Mauriccio Santillan Razo,  Microsoft® Regional Vice President- Latin America

In just over a decade, work hours have increased 20% and leisure time has decreased 32%.  Most of us, from today’s professionals, executives and managers to line workers and home-based business owners, face the same problem:  too much to do, too little time to do it.  We are juggling dozens of tasks, commitments and demands at any given time.
 
Progressive Training is delighted to partner with Microsoft® to combine our Productivity Training; a total time management solution that integrates communications, tasks, activities, information management and planning with Outlook, the powerful business tool that makes implementation of your learning fast, easy and immediate.

This workshop will show you how to reconfigure your task pad enabling you to focus on your priorities, how to communicate more effectively and how to fulfill and coordinate your commitments, all of which will contribute to a measurable increase in your productivity.
