This online engineering PDH course explains the "why" behind work performance principles and how to develop the "how" that is best for your situation. It also explains why much of the workplace stress stems from poorly defined expectations. Furthermore, it illustrates how to write your own measurable performance goals and help others with theirs.
There is a significant difference between being busy and being productive and a simple way to make sure your employees are always productive. The more that supervisors and employees can understand performance expectations, the greater the work satisfaction and ultimate productivity.
