Improving Productivity of Office Employees

Employee productivity is a measure of the efficiency and effectiveness of the work that
employees do. When employee productivity is high, your workforce is producing high-quality
work in a short amount of time. Put simply, it's a measure of how much work an employee
delivers within a specific time frame.
There’s a fine line between busy and productive, but it’s an important distinction.
Productive employees focus on the right things at the right times. They do great work that
impacts the company—busy employees spend a lot of time on a lot of projects that may not be
worth the investment.
Here are a few ways to increase office employee productivity.

1. Set Strict Rules for Communication


If your employees answer emails or chats when they’re off work, put a stop to it. Make sure
every employee, from the lowest to the highest level, has time to relax and unwind. Keeping
work-related communication strictly within business hours will help improve workforce
productivity.

2. Offer Flexible Work Hours


Offer flexible work hours or work sites to fit different employee circumstances. For some
people, a long commute can be a huge source of stress. For others, a 9 to 5 shift might
make their lives more difficult. If you can, let employees choose what’s best for them.
That choice can help eliminate stress, which raises productivity.

3. Offer Wellness Programs


Create wellness programs and then SUPPORT them. A lot of businesses have wellness
programs, but many employees don’t take advantage of them. Participate in them
yourself to set a good example, and incentivize employees to take part. Never make
employees feel like they’re wasting time if they use work time to meditate, take walks,
or exercise.

4. Lower Overall Stress


Stress is extremely common for employees. While a certain amount of healthy stress is
to be expected at work, unhealthy stress doesn’t have to be a part of your workplace.
Remove any unwarranted stress within the workplace that can take a toll on employees’
mental and physical health.
5. Reduce Burnout
Don't let your employees get burned out. Burnout is created by prolonged feelings of
work-related stress, and it creates feelings of disengagement and apathy.

6. Give Employees Recognition


Recognition is a key motivator for employees and provides them with a sense of
accomplishment and makes them feel valued for their hard work and efforts. Not only
does appreciation make employees feel more confident in themselves, but it also
improves productivity in the workplace.

7. Create Feedback Loops


Setting clear goals is just one part of the equation. Managers must also track progress
and provide timely feedback to ensure employees understand how they’re performing
relative to expectations. By monitoring progress, you can identify areas where
employees may need additional support or training.

8. Value Transparency
As a leader, it’s important to be clear and concise with your employees when it comes
to delegating tasks. If you have a big project coming up, make sure you outline the
‘SMART’ objectives of the task to your employees; this way they will be aware of what
the task entails, what is expected of them and how they can measure their success.
