Worked EO example (250 words)
*As an EO caseworker I was asked to clear a backlog of 140 cases against a two-week deadline, working alongside three AO colleagues. I mapped the backlog by case type on day one, identified that 60% were a single case type (reconsideration requests), and proposed to my line manager that I focus on that type while the AOs tackled more complex cases. My line manager agreed. I structured my own daily targets (15 cases per day), worked through them using a standardised template I developed for the reconsideration type, and flagged the three cases that were beyond AO scope for escalation. I completed 102 cases in the two-week window, well above the pro-rata share. My line manager invited me to present the template at the team meeting and it was adopted as the standard approach for that case type.*
