Introduction
The programme “Training in Time and Task Management Skills in the Digital Workplace” develops professional practice in Training and Learning. It connects the subject with workplace challenges by examining existing evidence and practices and choosing methods appropriate to the organization and its available resources.
The learning progresses from training design and measurement of learning transfer to data analysis and decision support, with practical work on office, communication, and meeting management, sustainability, impact assessment, and resources, performance, competency, and individual development management. Participants prepare outputs to support workplace application and review the quality and results of implementation.
Learning objectives
- Design a training intervention that begins with a performance gap and ends with evidence of application in an application related to “Training in Time and Task Management Skills in the Digital Workplace”.
- Organize office work, information, and follow-up to support decision-making.
- Integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into a measurable decision or process.
- Build a performance agreement, feedback process, and development plan tied to specific gaps.

Learning areas
1. Training Design and Measurement of Learning Transfer
- Analyze performance gaps at organizational, job, and individual levels, and verify that training addresses a cause related to knowledge or skill.
- Write observable learning objectives, define entry requirements, and link each objective to a training activity and assessment evidence.
- Build a sequence of content, activities, and practical cases, balancing explanation, experimentation, and feedback within the available time.
- Select suitable learning methods, face-to-face delivery, and digital learning, and ensure accessibility, material quality, and delivery instructions.
- Design pre- and post-learning assessments and a follow-up plan with the line manager to measure application and identify additional support needs. The application examines a case related to “Training in Time and Task Management Skills in the Digital Workplace”.
2. Office, Communication, and Meeting Management
- Analyze the flow of requests, correspondence, and appointments within the office, and classify work by priority, deadline, and responsible party.
- Organize mail, files, naming rules, and permissions, and apply a mechanism for tracking incoming and outgoing correspondence while retaining the follow-up trail.
- Prepare a meeting agenda specifying the purpose, topics, required documents, and participants, and distribute materials at the appropriate time.
- Write minutes covering decisions, actions, owners, and deadlines, and track open items and evidence of closure.
- Develop a concise management report template highlighting facts, alternatives, and the required decision, with checks on language, confidentiality, and data accuracy.
3. Sustainability, Impact Assessment, and Resources
- Identify organizational activities, stakeholders, and environmental, social, and governance impacts related to the program subject and assessment boundaries.
- Collect data on resources, energy, waste, and relevant practices, documenting sources, gaps, and assumptions used.

- Design initiatives covering responsibilities, resources, cost, and indicators, and compare the trade-offs and unintended effects of alternatives.
- Prepare a clear monitoring and disclosure plan distinguishing actual results from targets and defining the roles of review, verification, and data quality improvement.
4. Performance, Competency, and Individual Development Management
- Translate unit objectives into agreed individual results, specifying weights, success criteria, and sources of performance evidence.
- Define competencies using observable levels and behaviors, and connect assessment to role requirements without broad personal judgments.
- Conduct a follow-up discussion covering achievements, obstacles, and required support, and record facts and commitments professionally.
- Analyze performance gaps to distinguish causes related to skills, procedures, resources, and motivation, and select an intervention suited to the cause.
- Prepare a development plan with practical tasks, support, and review dates, and monitor the transfer of learning into actual work results.
5. Data Analysis and Decision Support
- Frame an analytical question linked to a specific decision, and define the unit of measurement, time period, and data needed to answer it.
- Check data quality for completeness, accuracy, consistency, and duplication, and document cleaning steps and limitations on reliance.
- Select appropriate comparisons, indicators, and charts, and distinguish statistical correlation from causal explanations of results.
- Interpret results in the work context, test assumptions and unusual values, and present alternatives and their associated uncertainty.
- Prepare an analytical report containing the finding, recommendation, data source and date, review owner, and next follow-up step.
