A new international workplace survey (2007) has found that 83% of Australians use email, Internet, or both while at work and most are convinced it makes them more productive.

The survey by global recruitment agency, Kelly Services, found that the use of online communications has extended across most of the workforce with only 9% using neither email nor Internet. Both men and women were equally enthusiastic users of email and the Internet and those in the 25-54 year old age bracket were intensive users.

The survey highlights the pervasive use of online tools in the workplace and there is little doubt that online technologies have transformed the way business operates. With this growing trend in modern business communication within Australia, the explosion of unnecessary and time-wasting emails was one of the biggest sources of complaint. Some 35% of workers said they received high levels of emails that were either time wasting or unnecessary. This evidently points to the volume of emails that are directed to people without a clear purpose.

There was widespread acceptance that the technology has a positive impact on the quality of work. However, like any tool, it is important that managers take time to provide the training and support to enable staff to effectively integrate online tools into their daily work routine, and gain maximum benefit.

In an increasingly knowledge-based economy, it is critical that information is widely accessible and able to be utilized effectively in the workplace. It is also vital that organizations develop policies to guide employees on the correct use of online communications. These should cover issues such as privacy, personal use, monitoring, downloading of content, access by third parties and illegal use of the Internet.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
