What is productivity?

Productivity is working effectively through tasks in pursuit of a desired outcome.

This is when we are being efficient, not wasting time, focused, energized, and move at a steady,

but limited paste. These are mostly all the component needed to get the task done in a timely

manner. While doing this, you can’t be burnt out, unfocused or even limited to your resources.

The soul purpose of any company is to be heavy into production so that the company can

prosper and continuously meet their financial quota or beyond at the end of the day. With

productivity growth, economy can produce more goods and services for the same amount of

work.

Productivity increases have business sectors overflowing in labor and increasing capitals

while reducing incurring cost. The reasons why we want to be productive is to soak up the

exposure and benefits while preforming an effective job. This promotes a sense of fulfillment

and satisfaction all in a day’s work. Also, the more things get done without wasted time, the

more the company builds up the rate to a great production increasing finance and value.

Five Factors Affecting Workplace Productivity As It Relates To The Office

Environment

There are many barriers to productivity in the working environment. They affect the

organization business success. The workers are the life of the company and many of them spends

most of their time investing in various components making sure the task runs smoothly.

Work Environment

No one enjoys working in a negative or toxic environment. The company needs to create

an atmosphere that is based on the values where your employees feel valued, safe, and supported.

Rewarding your workers when recognition is due will give them a complete access to embrace

the healthy habit of contributing to a productive workforce. The right environment will totally be

a memorable place to feel at ease on their shift.

Training and Career Development

All employees want to grow in their career. This provides them with a sense of essential

worth within the company. Enhancing their professional development throughout their journey

will make them feel relevant. An untrained employee will not know what’s needed for them to

be more efficient to produce a good work ethic. One of the best ways to train an employee is

through microlearning. This enables the employee to feel flexible within the department and not

stuck in the same position for too long.

 6

Pay Structure

All employees have bills to pay, many have children to take care of, but all have a goal to

accomplish. Which would bring us to the reason they are working for your company. This can

be used as a motivation tool which will need to be explained clearly on how the pay structure

works. With this notion in place, it will give the employee something to consider when officials

are deciding if a promotion or raise is deserved.

Employee Wellness

Employee wellness has become a physical and mental health issue when referring to the

team members. As an employer, you want to provide the necessary tools and resources for all

your employees. This way, you are creating and offering a healthy option that encourages them

to be a betterment for themselves. When the company helps put their welfare first, it helps a

happy employee and could greatly boost employee productivity.

Diversity

The new normal is now multi – culture in the workplace. It has become an important

factor in employee engagement. Having diversity in the workplace is one key factor to increase

employee productivity which benefit the company success. With different gender, ethnicity,

religions, and culture bringing diversity, gives an opportunity to learn and understand other

perspectives ensuring a dynamic team. Providing this range will make the employee satisfaction

a plus with different skills which leads to a healthy and productive employee.

Furniture Plus - Office Manager, Mrs. Lita Nesbitt

Mrs. Lita Nesbitt who is employed with Furniture Plus for the last 8 years to present,

have been a manager for 4 years.

Workplace productivity concerns

Being an employee with Furniture Plus you will learn the industry is competitive. The

marketing campaigns attracts customers to the show room. The quality of the products cannot be

tested online. They want to make sure the value is worth the money. Failing to recognize the

brand and product is another main concern. It is extremely important to understand what your

selling, whether it’s showcase or by technology. The consumers need inspiration, guidance and

education when buying furniture. The retail industry is advance in platforms such as social media

and online purchasing. Therefore, knowing the market expectations will be a plus for the

company.

Practices the company is currently using

The art of technology has been extended to having photoshoots in 3D visualization where

you have option to lighting, textures, and scenery to help with decision making. The company

also adjusted price fluctuations and customer demand. By improving the inventory management,

the stock control will balance the furniture manufacturers. Seasonal items will be made with

production planning and scheduling. Some of the items will be made from lower quality material

and priced at a lower cost.

Recommendations to create an office free environment

The biggest challenge is to stay in business at a profit. You also must change your style

and paste with the demanding market for the consumer. The quality must be durable for its price

tag. Warranties must be guaranteed for products to endure sustainable furniture.

Six Common Factors Causing Wear and Tear on Company Resources

Company resources can include time management, staffing and production. Being an employee

of a company, you should be aware of the most common drain.

Production Waste

The waste of materials is bound to happen within any company. The importance is, how

much is wasted causing a decrease in margins. This excessive product waste can cost severe

downsizing of the company because of the loss in materials.

Warehouse Management

No company wants over supply nor under supply, so this management is greatly needed

for the company to run successfully. The materials should always be on hand for demand, with

there being no reason for hold up of production.

Double Work

The way double work can be exempt is for teams not to be working on the same things.

That would be a waste of time and a major strain on the company resource. Once a decision is

made and the all the tasks are disbursed into sections, there is no need to for the double work and

wasted time.

Too Much Too Soon

Growth is necessary for any company, however, taking a leap to expand your company

can be risky. It can lead to loss of credibility and product. Everyone should be on board and

prepared for the venture. Make sure you are comfortable with the move and willing to take the

loss if it doesn’t work out.

 9

Unnecessary Expenditures

When approving expenses and investments you should always consider the time and

value. Simple calculations can save money and guide personal and professional choices. Making

a simple decision of replacing items or machinery instead of always fixing it multiple times, can

save the company money and time.

Inefficient Time Management

Meetings is a necessity so everyone can be on one accord. Management should have an

agenda with status, updates and progression to moving forward making the company better. The

meeting should contain objections and actions. Bringing a meeting to the table with no

particulars is a waste of managers, employees, and overall company’s time.
