Improving Productivity Using IT
Improving Productivity Using IT
As our organisation is very IT focused there are many different methods and software we use. Our main way of communicating is via email; this saves a lot of time and is also a faster way of letting the whole team know certain information. We use a variety of software to get tasks completed such as word, excel, PowerPoint, internet etc. As we very rarely have customers come into our office, most of our communications is by using computers. We have a company website where people can quickly submit their CV’s to us and they can also register with our company for regular email updates and job ads.
Prior to our new apprentice starting, someone at Tempus contacted our company asked for a contract of employment. When I started, this was something that wasn’t needed so as a company we was new to creating a apprentice contract so I suggested to David that I could create a standard template for one, this way ERL would have one in the future if needed.
After conformation from David I started creating the template, I opened up the document of our standard employee’s contract. The apprentice one needed to be different, it could be shorter and a lot of things in the current ones wouldn’t be necessary for an apprentice but I also wasn’t sure what was required.
I chose to do the contract on Microsoft word as it allows spell checking and is a format that can be viewed on all company computers. Using a word processor saves you from writing everything out which would take a very long time and wouldn’t look as neat. The contract looks professional due to the formatting tools and it fits the company document standardization following formats used on other documents.
To find out what I needed to include in the contract, I used an online search engine as it offers a wide variety and quantity of information and resources. The problem with this is that there are many websites which include different information so I decided to use an official company
