Dear All,
I am a training manager and I need to hire a trainer. I discussed this with my boss, and he wants me to send him a Workload Assessment sheet. I have no idea what it is. All he explained to me is to send him a list of my workload with the duration for each.
I believe the assignment of workload units will necessarily be somewhat subjective. So, how should I mention the duration?
Please find attached the list of my current workload.
Please guide.
With much thanks,
Regards,

Hello Kavita. Here is how you can reduce the level of subjectivity. For one week, keep a diary of your daily activities. To manage the level of detail, break up the entries into 15 minute segments. At the end of the week, categorize the activities.
At the same time, maintain a daily todo list of the all of the activities that need doing. Segment these into these priority levels: high, medium, low and urgent. Include daily operational activities all the way up to planning activities. “Urgent” may not be a high priority, but need doing immediately, such as returning an important phone call.
At the end of the week, with your diary entries and your todo list, also construct a list of all of those high priority activities that did not get done because you were doing urgent low priority tasks. An example might be constructing next year's training calendar or reviewing suppliers for quality. Note the impact on the organization for these missed priorities.
I hope this helps.
