5 Ways to Improve Employee Productivity

The Rabbit Hole

It’s always a good idea to think of ways to boost your employees’ productivity. Not only is it a drain on your business if your employees aren’t performing to the best of their abilities, but it also affects employee morale. This leads to a vicious spiral of continuously lagging productivity. How can you boost your workplace productivity and escape the cycle?

1. Communicate

A lack of effective communication is a huge waste of time for everyone involved. This could mean waiting for an answer to a question, unclear instructions, or discomfort reaching out to supervisors. Employee outreach and collaboration in the workspace should be encouraged to stimulate effective communication.

2. Incentivize

Your employees work really hard. An easy way to ensure they feel appreciated and want to put in the effort at work is to give them incentives. This could be as simple as a free lunch when they hit certain milestones or a thank you card at the end of a long project.

3. Organize

The workplace can get very chaotic. Make sure your employees are always confident in what they are supposed to be working on. Maybe that means taking a closer look at the smaller projects that are being handled simultaneously and deciding if they can be pushed to the side to create time for the big picture items on your To Do list.

4. Develop

There is no bigger time sucker than an employee who has no idea what’s going on. Most often, that’s due to neglect on the part of the employer. Taking care to train all of your employees to a certain standard of success and developing their talents will go miles in creating a more productive environment for everyone.

5. Engage

An apathetic or inconsiderate employer leads to apathetic and inconsiderate employees. Employers that actively show they respect the time put in by their employees, create a positive team environment, and listen to concerns brought up in the workplace have a much better chance of gaining the trust of their employees. Employees that enjoy their environment are productive in their environment.
