But, to manage your calendar efficiently you need to have the right one which helps you instead of adding more burden to your packed schedule.
Let me show you some of the challenges employees face when not using a calendar in the right way:
Everything is a priority:
Not knowing which tasks you should set as priority results in having everything a priority for them. This leaves your team more confused and indecisive in selecting which tasks should be done first, which project needs more of their attention, when do they have meetings with whom, and more.
This all becomes chaotic for your employees and results in inefficiency. In turn this can result in your business not flourishing and losing potential clients. As an additional security measure make sure DMARC for Office 365 is activated.
Not using right tool:
Not using the right calendar can be the biggest mistake you can ever make. If the calendar does not add value to your employees’ schedule then they are very likely to get frustrated and not work properly.
Hence, choosing the right calendar which has needed functionalities is an important thing for you as well as your employees.
