In this report reflection analysis would be done so that motivational skills can be enhanced. Whenever an individual is joining organisation it is required that they possess right optimum level of productivity. This is because job rules and responsibilities become monotonous and boring for employees. Therefore motivating employees is very important due to following reasons:

Enhance performance: any organisation which have hired new or have existing employees ones improved productivity. For this company provides training and development sessions so that their skills and knowledge can be increased. Different motivating factors are also employed so that personal walks with willingness on the form with efficiency Fisher

Change in attitude: in case unemployed have not achieved anything after the maximum efforts their attitude becomes negative and productivity gets low. Such an attitude needs to be changed so that their productivity can be improved and this can be done by making them understand the link between their efforts and rewards.

According to me time management is an essential activity that has constantly motivated me to perform my task within stipulated time zone. It has reduce the stress that is associated with incurring work before deadline. Indulging into certain practices like allocating the task amongst team member on the basis of their capability, conducting constant meetings regarding the progress of work, motivating the other team members, scheduling the work effectively.

Most of the successful companies are potential enough to manage the time due to which they get the chance to access better opportunity. Within an organisation I have also tried to maintain the balance and encourage the other fellow members to bring the transition by managing the time and gain profitability as well as productivity. There were certain practices that leads to my personality development and perform work in diverse areas effectively. Such as group discussion and brainstorming method created an innovative ideas based on which I allocate the duties along with the time limit.

Thus, there are certain methods that helped me to enhance my time management capabilities. The explanation of these methods are demonstrated below:

Manage the workload: As an organisation exist in dynamic situation that rapidly changes so during the extreme condition or while inculcating new pattern of doing work the managing authority faces immense workload. So to cope up with such situation the managing authorities need to delegate the responsibility property. I remain flexible towards the changes and find it desirable enough to follow new working regime because it breaks monotony routine and leads to the personal growth. Thus, based on manager’s guidelines I successfully carried out my performance and learned to cope up with adverse environment without affected the work due to which it relatively helped me to develop critical thinking ability.

Avoid multitasking work: Although the personal needs to be efficient in terms of doing the multitasking work but sometimes it can hamper the overall performance. Due to which I always preferred to concentrate one work at a time so that I can allocate full-fledged time for the specific task. I preferably makes the list of the different task that assist me to concentrate on the different task but without affecting one task over the other. 
Take desirable gaps: Performing the monotonic routine and conducting the task for long hours can lead to stress anxiety in order to recover from the fatigue and reboot the energy. It is necessary for an individual to take the regular gaps in between the work. My manager as well as other team members helps me to understand the relevance of such technique which revive my efforts and enhances the profitability as well as profitability. Therefore, these are some of the technique or method that has successfully helped me to enhance the time management skills in order to carry out various task which enhance my career and worked for an organisation in terms to attend the objectives.

There are certain effective efforts that was practised by me in order to improve time management skill within organisation (Goodson, Miertschin and Stewart, 2016). Explanation is determined below:

• Delegation of work is one of the method used by our firm so that objective can be achieved in the said time period. It really help the organisation as lot of time was saved once the work was delegated, the work was divided so that it can be made easier and appropriate work was given to the appropriate employee so that they can use their skill to achieve those task with efficiency and effectiveness and it really happened as the company productivity increased rapidly.

• Prioritizing deadlines is the core practice to gain favourable result within certain time limit. Company prioritize the deadline of the task. So that the work is done in the mentioned time and the commitment are done. It helped the company as they concentrated on the important work and gave leverage to less important task.
• Focusing on quality of work/productivity as with skilled employees productivity was achieved and quality of work was also achieved. With all the measure taken by the company productivity and quality both was death with resulting in time management and increase in revenue.
• Whatever time company had it was utilized in such a way that the efficiency of the work can be achieved. With that with minimum time maximum utility was achieved by me. My vital efforts in terms of utilization of time assisted me to gain success.

Operations management involve different responsibilities and one off it is to ensure that business operates effectively and officially so that less resources are used in meeting customer demand. Thus there are different Theories and techniques so that it can be successful in managing processes and people in an organisation (Hayes, 2017). Some of them are as follows:

Business process redesign: it is also known as business process we engineering with the main object is of achieving a increase in performance like return on investment, Quality of product and services and cost reduction.
