Multitasking has become a popular buzzword in the mid nineties, and job advertisements usually include phrases to support your staff and management time "the ability to multitask." Juggling multiple responsibilities, as part of a day is expected, and employees who fail in this juggling act rarely last long.
However, information increasingly suggests that multitasking, rather than being effectively and efficiently, often lead to results that are far from optimal. Rather than doing one task at a time extremely well, many workers do a lot in one day, but with a significant decrease in the quality of work. Executives who sit in meetings and spend time passing on their daily plans are not likely to keep all the information that was adopted at the meeting, and perhaps have not planned their day may have and 'they' d taken a few minutes to calm themselves without interruption.
There is an effective alternative for multitasking? Yes! A combination of organization and planning can deal with most routine tasks, either from management or support staff. Organize information needed, both paper and electronic files, allowing easy access to save time and energy working hours to be done in segments of time, a task at a time, allowing more intense concentration.
There will always be interruptions and emergencies to be treated, but an organization that encourages its staff to plan, realistic work program and to minimize juggling multiple tasks may find that productivity growth.
