But, there are things you can do as a facility manager to help overcome the most common reasons for a lack of proper time management of employees and contractors in the field.<\/p>\n
#1: Employees or contractors don\u2019t finish what they start<\/strong>. There are many reasons someone may not finish a project. To combat any uncertainty, busy facility managers should ensure employees have a firm grasp on the end vision for any project. This will help everyone stay on task and know what they are working towards. Deadlines are also helpful and can be an incentive for productivity.<\/p>\n
#2: Employees or contractors in the field procrastinate<\/strong>. Lack of deadlines, or of proper information to get a job done, is often the cause of procrastination<\/a>. Many people leave their work to the last minute, giving them a rush when they complete it in such a short amount of time. However, this is not sustainable. As the boss, offer options rather than threats, and encourage creative problem-solving. Giving feedback can also make sure less time is wasted, and ensures employees are staying on-task.<\/p>\n
#3: Workers are easily distracted by the little things<\/strong>; unimportant to the task at hand or overall goal. Project Managers should encourage employees to focus on one work order at a time. While the idea of multitasking is great, the actual practice of multitasking does not work<\/a>. The key is to find the right balance between working on something long enough, but not too long. Blocking out time with a method such as the Pomodoro Technique<\/a>, will increase focus and productivity.<\/p>\n
Busy Facility Managers have a lot to juggle throughout the day and cannot always track employee or contractor productivity or efficiency easily.
