Maintain Profits in Tough Economic Times with Productivity Training

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 14, 2009 – Atlanta, GA - If your organization had to let people go during this economic downturn, your employees are probably wondering how to get everything done since the work did not walk out the door when the personnel left. Employees with increased workloads can get more done in less time with the Outlook on Steroids Webinars provided by Karla Brandau & Associates.

The webinars are being offered at 12:00 Noon on March 20, March 24, and March 30. They are structured as a one-hour Lunch and Learn so you can eat a sandwich while being tutored on Microsoft Outlook and given time management tips. The content will be:

The series is taught by time management and Microsoft Outlook guru, Karla Brandau, President of Karla Brandau & Associates. More information can be found at www.MaximizingOutlook.com.

“With the Outlook on Steroids program, everyone can find more time and that is sorely needed in our economic environment of having to get more done in less time,” says Brandau. “Compute the benefits: A person who is paid $55,000.00 a year plus benefits, makes about $37.00 an hour. If that person gains just 4 hours a week, as people who have gone through the program testify, that person has given the company a gift of $148.00 worth of more productivity per week. That is a gift of $592.00 per month and $7,104 per year per employee. That should improve the profits of any company.”

Using features in Microsoft Outlook, the instruction teaches the disciplined process of work flow as tasks come into the Inbox and can dramatically improve the productivity of any global team.
