Since the pandemic, employee productivity has been a hot topic.
With team members working from home full time or partially, your boss may be thinking about how the workflow could be more efficient.
And this is your opportunity to stand out among the rest.
Jamila Brown Hairston, a leader in delivering custom technology design solutions and custom training services, will present “Tips and Tricks with Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint)” on Monday, July 18, 2002, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. as part of the Federally Employed Women (FEW)’s Virtual Leadership Summit (VLS) III.
In this course, Hairston will cover advanced tips and tricks to help attendees increase their productivity and make collaboration more efficient. Attendees will also discover how to work smarter, not harder by leveraging easy-to-use shortcuts that can be used across multiple applications. The objective of the course is to help attendees enhance their skills, save time and become advanced power users.
In an article entitled “What Super Productive People Do Differently” in Harvard Business Review, avoiding your computer’s mouse can help you do more with less time. A Brainscape study found that people lose two seconds per minute of work by using their mouse instead of keyboard shortcuts—which comes out to eight days per year.
