Best Techniques and Practices for Working With Disorganized People

Create a positive work environment by learning about different work, communication, and problem-solving styles.

Chances are good that you'll work alongside disorganized employees throughout your career. Maybe you've felt the impact of others' struggle to stay on top of deadlines, manage projects, retain organized records, or limit clutter in the workplace. The repercussions not only lessen the effectiveness of the individual but also affect co-workers. It can be difficult to know how to provide an effective level of support. During the program, we'll share ways to positively communicate the effects disorganization is having and collaborate to find solutions. You'll learn the many ways that disorganization shows up in the workplace - from its impact on workspaces to digital files and time management along with strategies and best practices to address them. This presentation is essential for employees who strive to stay organized and effective while also managing the challenge of working with employees who struggle with disorganization.
