Work sampling

Okay kiddo, let me explain work sampling to you.

Sometimes, grown-ups need to know how much time it takes to do different jobs or tasks in their work. Work sampling is a way to figure that out without having to watch and time everything all the time.

It's kind of like taking a bunch of pictures with a camera, but instead of taking pictures of people or things, we take pictures of the work that's being done.

We take these pictures at random times during the workday, and then we look at them later. By doing this, we can get an idea of how much time is being spent on each task or job throughout the day.

It's like when you play with toys and I take a picture every now and then. When we look at those pictures later, we can see which toys you played with the most and for how long.

Work sampling helps grown-ups figure out how to improve their work and make it more efficient. By knowing how long each task takes, they can figure out which tasks take the most time and try to find ways to do them faster or better.

So, work sampling is like taking pictures to help grown-ups understand how long their work tasks take, so they can do their work better and faster!
