Workforce productivity is defined as the quantity of goods and services that a worker produces in a given amount of time. It is one of several types of productivity that economists measure. Workforce productivity can be measured for a firm, a process, an industry, or a country. Workforce productivity may be measured in physical or in price terms. • the intensity of labour-effort, and the quality of labour effort generally. • the creative activity involved in producing technical innovations. • the relative efficiency gains resulting from different systems of management, organization, co-ordination or engineering. • the productive effects of some forms of labour on other forms of labour. These aspects of productivity refer to the qualitative dimensions of labour input. If an organization is using labour much more intensely, one can assume it's due to greater labour productivity, since the output per labour-effort may be the same. This insight becomes particularly important when a large part of what is produced in an economy consists of services. Management may be very preoccupied with the productivity of employees, but the productivity gains of management itself is very difficult to prove. How to improve work efficiency First, you should organize your day in advance, in the previous evening. Think about the important tasks you have to take care of, any potential calls or meetings you have to prepare for and correspondences you have to complete. Set deadlines for your tasks. If you leave the completion of your tasks open and subject to interpretation, they may never get done. Even if management is not on your back and the company is in a mode of complacency, set an example with hardcore deadlines. Take an hour at the end of the day to find a place for important items. File them away in a space that is easy to access and remember.
