IMPROVE YOUR WORK CONCENTRATION
Faced
with increased work pressure, how do you increase your concentration and reduce
errors? Complete the simple exercise below to test your concentration level by reading
the sentence as shown in the triangle.

us will read “NewYork in the spring.” This happens only because our minds want to read only the meaningful sentence that it sees and in the process, we miss the second “the” and do not recognize that the word is used twice.
This simple exercise exposes the
risks involved in transaction processing errors that can lead to financial loss
for banks.
Bankers with routine duties are
highly prone to transaction processing errors due to a drop in concentration as
the banker gets used to a routine.
The best way to reduce the risk of
becoming a victim of routine errors is to simplify the processes.
For example, the above sentence can
be broken into three rows of words; 1. New York, 2. In the, 3. the spring.
Now if we read this sentence in
numerical order, we can easily catch our mistake and errors.
This shows that small changes in our work
style could result in high productivity with error free transactions. For
example, avoiding the use of mobile phones while working can significantly
improve concentration levels. So, make small changes to the way you work and experience
the significant improvement in your concentration levels and productivity.
