3 Tips for Better Management

  • Written by News Company


Running your own team, whether it’s the whole business or simply one department, means making sure that you are a good manager. Being a manager is a lot harder than many people assume, and often means juggling a number of different tasks at the same time. From inspiring, leading, and motivating your team, all whilst ensuring that targets and goals are met, the key to better management is self-awareness. Knowing exactly what your goals are and having a strategy in place to achieve those goals is the most fundamental element of an improved managerial foundation. Here are the three main areas where you could be managing your business and your employees far more effectively.

 

Be a better communicator

 

One of the most important factors towards being a better manager is to ensure that your communication with your team is as streamlined as possible. Everyone wants to be in the loop, and whether that’s regarding the future of the company, current projects, or changing deadlines, your team will be much more motivated if they are kept up to date. This carries into feedback as well, and communication on a regular basis about the good quality of the work that is being achieved can be another factor towards improved motivation. Being accessible is one of the most vital elements of good management communication.

 

Know your business

 

No matter your sector or industry, it’s essential that you know every element of it. Keeping up to date with evolving trends and emerging technologies is one of the most important factors to consider when it comes to better management. Technology plays such an important role in the current business world that to fall behind in the modern age is to miss out on business improvements that could be driving your company and team forward. With the benefits of resources like cloud platforms and the operating systems like VMware that are available from Bytes.co.uk, it’s never been easier to take control. It’s of paramount importance that you keep updated about just what’s possible, and what your company can be doing with new and established technologies.

 

Trust your team

 

Almost every good manager feels the need to micromanage on a constant basis, but having trust in your team to get the job done right is a fundamental element of improved management. Delegation is not just good for your workload, it’s also good for your team as well, improving confidence, increasing motivation, and fine-tuning skill-sets. By delegating, you are also better able to realize just where the strengths and weaknesses of your team lie. It’s been proven that delegating tasks and roles to your employees will have a positive impact on overall productivity, so it’s vital that you resist the urge to take over.

 

No matter how large or small the team is that you’re in charge of, these three factors will help to define your own effectiveness as a manager. By making sure that you follow these three essential elements of awareness, trust, and accessibility, your management style will improve to the point where it has a positive effect on your business, and on your bottom line.

Research reveals the avoidable task 92% of people and businesses are wasting time on

  • Written by Nicole Robertson


New research commissioned by Zoom2u, an innovative platform that provides radically fast and reliable deliveries, reveals that despite massive tech advancements in the delivery space, 92% of Australians still use the post office to send packages, with 38% using this method every time they send or receive anything.

 

Interestingly, people between the ages of 50 – 57, are unemployed or students are the least likely to still use the post office, whilst 26 – 33-year olds, part time workers and retirees are the most likely to do so. Males and females both send their items  via the post office equally.

 

The data has also highlighted that through using this traditional method, the average person spends more than 10 minutes waiting in line per delivery, with respondents noting that sometimes it took them over 30 minutes to send or collect a package due to waiting periods.

 

Steve Orenstein, Founder and CEO of Zoom2u says, “Tens of millions of deliveries are made nationwide every year, and this research proves that Australians are wasting a significant amount of time making these deliveries via the post office. Also, when you consider that this research doesn’t even take into account how much time  is wasted travelling to and from the post office, it really is a time sucking task that could be avoided for not much more in terms of cost in most cases.”

 

The research went on to show that more than half of Australians have never used a courier company for a personal delivery, with many saying it’s because they didn’t realise it was possible.

 

Mr. Orenstein continues, “These days, couriering for both personal and business requirements is easier than ever before through services such as Zoom2u. A task that would otherwise take at least half an hour or more out of your day can be done online from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office in mere minutes.”

 

As well as saving time, notable benefits of using non-traditional delivery options include:

 

  • Faster time options. Where previously you would have to wait until the next business day to receive an item, modern services allow you to receive deliveries within 3 hours, with evening and weekend delivery also possible at no extra charge.
  • More accessible customer service. Rather than waiting on hold for extended periods of time, modern delivery options like Zoom2u allow you to communicate instantly with customer service representatives within minutes – whether it be on the phone or via live chat.
  • Additional transparency. As opposed to only being able to track your delivery daily via traditional methods, innovative delivery platforms now offer live tracking and full visibility of end-to-end service meaning there are no surprises about when your item will arrive.

Mr. Orenstein concludes, “Ultimately, in today’s society more than ever, time is money. I founded the company as a result of constantly being frustrated by the inefficiency of traditional delivery services, and this data highlights why platforms like Zoom2u – that power deliveries through tech but are managed by people that care – are rising in popularity.”

 

Zoom2u is an innovative platform that connects business and customers to a community of couriers across Australia. With a restlessness commitment to customer happiness, the company enables radically fast deliveries with live tracking technology and extensive customer support. Since launching in 2014, Zoom2u has built a network of over 1,000 couriers across Australia and delivered over 500,000 packages. Bookings can be made online for a VIP, three-hour, same day or interstate delivery, and are also made on evenings and weekends at no extra charge.


*Research was conducted and analysed by The Digital Edge Research Company. The data is based on analysis of over 1,000 Australians in June 2018. The respondents used for this study were 18 – 65+ years old, and consisted of a mix of all genders, locations, and employment types.
