WHAT IS PRODUCTIVITY MANAGEMENT?

Productivity management is an organizational setup or framework that helps
individuals and teams improve productivity. Productivity measures how
efficiently an organization or its employees convert inputs, like labor and
capital, into outputs, like goods or services. Managers use goals, incentives,
development, and communication strategies to enhance employee performance and
help them increase their productivity.

This productivity maximizes the business’ gains either directly – through
improved productivity and quality – or indirectly – by retaining the best
talents, upskilling them, and providing additional responsibilities.

Well-managed teams come out with increased productivity. On the other hand,
poor productivity management can be one of the biggest reasons for lackluster
employee performance and engagement.  


HOW DOES MANAGEMENT AFFECT PRODUCTIVITY? 

Studies show that good management can significantly boost productivity, increase
market value and growth, as well as the ability to withstand adverse situations
like a recession. The action of managers and the enterprise can decisively
influence the realization of productivity of the business. 

Managers play a vital role in improving and maintaining productivity levels in
their teams. A Gallup study points out that as much as 70% of the variance in
employee engagement can be attributed to management. A good manager will have a
clear understanding of the skill levels of each team member, their strengths and
weaknesses, and work with them to ensure the best output from each of them.
Managers also consider teams. Stress levels and mental well-being and extends
support when needed. 


IMPORTANCE OF PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE

Highly productive employees help a company achieve its goals. Productivity
boosts morale and creates a company culture of excellence, resulting in an
improved workplace environment. 

When a company is highly productive and successful, incentives like pay hikes,
bonuses, medical insurance, etc., are made available to the employees. It
motivates employees and advances their careers as the company flourishes.

For every company, productivity in the workplace is an essential aspect that the
top management must understand in order to enjoy success.  


PRODUCTIVITY WORKING FROM HOME (WFH)

Studies by Upwork show that productivity in WFH is higher than in working from
an office. On average, employees who work from home save 10 minutes less on
non-productive tasks and are nearly 47% more productive than those working in
the office. Plus, they are more consistent, work for more hours, and manage to
get more done. With the world discovering alternate ways of remote working,
productivity can actually be better working from home.

    and lesser cost of production. 
 2. Reduced time-to-market, better quality assured

HOW CAN YOU MANAGE YOUR TEAM’S PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE?   

It’s never easy leading a team in the workplace. However, if handled tactfully,
you can make your team accomplish significant goals and take their productivity
to a whole new level. 

As a leader, you need to give your teammates enough opportunity to grow, make
mistakes and learn. Encourage them to work in unison towards a common goal. 


PRACTICAL TIPS FOR IMPROVING TEAM PRODUCTIVITY 

Let’s discuss how to empower your teams to be more productive:


GIVE OWNERSHIP TO TEAM MEMBERS 

Let your team members make their own decisions and make them accountable for
their work. This instills a sense of responsibility in employees regarding work,
making them aware that their decisions can affect the performance of the entire
team. Your trust can help build your team members’ self-esteem.   


MAKE PROPER COMMUNICATION

One of the key factors that improve team productivity is effective communication
must prevail in a team. Communication helps team members understand their
responsibilities and reduces the chances of confusion within the team, which can
affect overall productivity. 


IDENTIFY THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF YOUR TEAM

As a manager, you have to know the knowledge, skillsets, and talents of
teammates to allocate tasks accordingly. Making each member use their strengths
will improve workplace productivity significantly. 


USE PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS

Numerous project management software are available that play an essential role
in boosting teamwork and productivity. Selecting the right project management
tool can help effective work management and increase collaboration between
teammates. 


REWARD YOUR EMPLOYEES

Employees work best when their efforts are appreciated and they are given
incentives. Implement incentive programs in the form of cash, free vouchers,
lunch-outs, paid holidays, etc., to keep your employees motivated. 


GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

Introduce performance review and constructive feedback process in the team.
There’s no way employee efficiency will improve if the employees do not know
they are being inefficient in the first place. Hence, constructive feedback is
essential to improve team productivity.

HOW TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTIVITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Many managers find difficulty defining job responsibilities, leaving employees
with vague ideas about what’s expected of them and how to be most productive. To
get an accurate measure of your team’s efforts, you need to look at various
factors in addition to time and effort. 

Consider focusing on the following:


QUALITY 

Whether your employees produce tangible or intangible assets, align their work
with performance metrics so that there’s a distinct way to assess their work
quality.


IMPACT ON THE ORGANIZATION 

Some projects might not have any particular metrics; however, they produce
intangible results that positively impact your company. These impacts can be an
improvement in employee engagement, helping other employees work better, and
improving public awareness of your company.  


INSIGHTS GAINED 

Often, the failure of a project can yield unexpected insights that your team can
utilize to make rectifications in their approach as they move ahead. These kinds
of failures should be considered productive in helping your team reach its goal
of producing innovative work. 


TYPES OF ERRORS MADE 

Mistakes can deter progress. However, instead of being judgmental, you should
assess whether the teammate made mistakes out of being careless or dealing with
a complex task where they could not clearly figure out what was the right thing
to do. Reprimand your employee if it is the former, especially if the mistake’s
repeated. But, if not, discuss the decision-making process with your team and
help them come up with ideas to avoid similar situations in the future. 


HOW INDEPENDENTLY THEY WORKED 

Everyone’s time in the organization is valuable. If an employee keeps on asking
questions and seeking detailed feedback before making any constructive effort to
solve their problems themselves that can negatively affect others productivity. 

Consider each of these factors and other relevant ones to create a performance
evaluation sheet of your teammates where you can assign a point value to each
factor. Assign weights to each factor depending on its priority level. Find each
employee’s productivity score by applying the weight of the point for each
metric; this will reflect your company objectives.
