PART A - RESEARCH PRIORITY MANAGEMENT TOOLS

INSTRUCTIONS TO:

1. You are required to research at least three useful technologies/tools that managers can use to manage their work priorities. Your research should be such that you are able to describe each of the three tools/technologies and how it assists in planning and prioritising work.

2. Using one of the technologies you have researched prepare a schedule for a typical week incorporating all of the tasks listed for the job role provided to you by your assessor. You will also need to factor in at least 30 minutes a day for relaxation to ensure a work-life balance. This can be any activity you choose.

Assume your working hours are from 9am to 5pm with a 30-minute lunch break and that your travel time to work each day is 30 minutes each way. You should also include at least 2 x 2 hours slots during your week to catch up on jobs not completed.

If you are working you may create a schedule based on your own work tasks and working hours.

3. On the Tuesday afternoon one of the systems your team uses breaks and the IT team is working on a solution. This has pushed back your team's weekly schedule by at least half a day. On the Wednesday morning your General Manager asks you to meet with them as an unexpected issue has been raised; that meeting takes 2 hours out of your day. Make changes to your electronic schedule to fit these unexpected tasks in while maintaining your work-life balance. Provide a justification.

4. Submit the notes of your research, your weekly schedule and your adjusted schedule to your assessor via email. Your email should provide your justification for the re-scheduled tasks.

PART B - RESEARCH AND REPORT ON STRESS

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Your workplace has a high rate of incidents related to stress and internal research shows that staff don't know how to maintain a work life balance. The General Manager has asked you to complete some research and report on the signs and impact of stress, strategies that staff can use at home and at work to manage their stress and the benefits of health and wellbeing programs for the organisation. You have also been asked to recommend four health and wellbeing programs that your employer will support during business hours.

2. Prepare a report of approximately two pages that outlines your research and your recommendation for the four health and wellbeing programs. Your recommendations should be based on evidence of effectiveness and success, and include enough detail for the General Manager to make a decision on whether to proceed. Be sure to quote your sources of information.

3. Submit your report to your assessor via email.
