Preparation of Daily Work Report
As Elaborated
There is no single way to prepare a Daily Work Report.
Basically, we must state the following elements, which are related to each other:
Initial objective
When described in a concise way, the work for which we prepared the report.
It can be a sales campaign. The provision of a service to a customer.
The physical reorganization of an office, etc.
They serve to show what it is that we pursue certain actions in a certain period.
Activities Carried Out
Shows what has been done to achieve the proposed results.
It is important to have a good overview of what each collaborator has done.
In the examples above, describe the campaign actions.
Where is the service to be delivered.
A destination was found for the old office furniture, etc?
Evaluation of the Works
It compares the goals with what has been achieved up to the moment of the report.
To see more clearly the effectiveness of the actions, you can use graphics and comments.
For example, for the sales campaign.
The graph will show how close or far we are from the goal.
The comments will reveal what the best sales action has been.
Actions to be followed
It is the “useful” part of the Work Report.
- In the sense that it provides guidance on what worked best to achieve the objective pursued.
- It determines the actions that will be implemented until the end of the campaign or until a new report is required.
- In the case of the sales campaign.
- For example, it was found that a certain promotion significantly increased sales.
- In this section, it is stated that the same promotion will be applied to other products.
- Each of these parts can be subdivided.
- In turn, to include more information than what is being evaluated.
- But, in any case, the important thing is that the information is as clear as possible.
- So that the Daily Work Report is useful.
