“Why Employees Spend So Much Time Doing Everything Except Their Actual Job”

Every organization has work that creates value. Unfortunately, most organizations also have work that exists simply to support the work. Meetings to prepare for meetings. Reports that summarize other reports. Email chains to clarify previous email chains. Manual workarounds, duplicate data entry, and unnecessary approvals quietly consume time and attention every day. It never seems to end.

Over time, these activities become part of “the way we do things,” making them difficult to recognize and even harder to challenge. The result is an organization where employees stay busy but have less time to focus on the work that matters most.

Join Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, for an engaging discussion on the hidden work that reduces capacity, slows decision-making, and contributes to frustration and burnout. You’ll learn how to identify organizational friction, recognize the difference between productive work and administrative overhead, and uncover opportunities to simplify processes that have become unnecessarily complex.

You’ll leave with practical ideas for reducing unnecessary work, improving clarity, and helping employees spend more of your organization’s time creating value instead of navigating obstacles.

This program is pre-approved for 1 PDC for the SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® and 1 recertification credit hour for the PHR® or SPHR®. A certificate of completion will be provided to all attendees.
