Time is a precious commodity in modern, efficient laboratories. Misuse of time can prevent goal achievement and lower production. What activities waste time and what can be done to eliminate them? This webinar will address five nonvalue added activities common to all laboratories that can be reduced or eliminated entirely.

As an attendee, you will learn more about:

  • Procrastination – How does it hurt us, and what can we do about it?
  • Delegation - Who can accomplish the task and who can we train?
  • Travel – Can we “afford” it?
  • Time wasters among us - Email/paperwork
  • Meetings – Do my meetings add value?
