Boost Your Company’s Productivity
1. Make a plan: "People with goals are successful because they know where they are going ... it is as simple as that."
The strategy will always be the first in my list of ways to increase productivity because the business owners I talk to have no formal plans for their company. It's like a dog chasing a tail if you want to be more successful and productive, you must know, especially where you want to go.
2. Execute the plan: "The best teamwork comes from those people who are working independently for a goal." - JC Penny
A strategic plan is just a dream if you do not execute it anytime. A great way to increase your chances of success is to share your plan with employees, business consultants, partners and anyone else who can play a role in your role in achieving your goals. When you play an integral role in your company, you can increase productivity as everyone understands their share in the overall strategy of the team.
3.Get more from the existing technology:
Instead of upgrading your computer or buying a new one, run a series of "lunch and learn" classes to get more from the technology that you currently work in your office. According to many surveys, the average company uses about 25 to 30 percent of its existing resources (such as smartphones and laptops). How useful is your business when using 70 to 75 percent of your technology resources?
4. Set up the smartphone and social media policies: "It has been my observation that most people go ahead during the time that other people are wasted." - Henry Ford
This is the "800-lb gorilla" issue in the room. According to a study conducted by a mobile technology expert Tomi Ahonen, the average person will see his smartphone 150 times in 16 hours or once every 6.5 minutes, because personal use of smart media and social media at work is detrimental to major interruptions and manpower productivity. In addition, the average person can make 22 phone calls, receive or avoid and send 23 text messages in a given day. Whether you install a formal policy or share such articles, employees will have to find out how their smartphone and social media usage is interrupting your company's productivity.
5. Test Flex's hours and work remotely: "Be committed to your decisions, but be flexible in your attitude." - Tony Robbins
There is a lot of debate on whether the company's productivity will increase or decrease due to meeting flex hours at work or staying away from employees. I believe in testing new programs before jumping with both phases. If your employees get significant benefits by flexing hours and working remotely, then present both programs for one month or one month. To find out, set an analytics model to see if overall productivity has increased in the month (for example, the absence is low, the output is low, there are fewer complaints than the customer), if it works, Expand the month, then six months and so on. Tell your employees that how you measure the programs, in which program you decide to end Flex's hours and/or work from a distance. You want them to understand that productivity has decreased, flat is not enough to expand.6. Keep your team in mind: "If I knew that I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself." - Mikey Mentley
If your business is a car, then your employees are the fuel which runs it. Not only will you have to look at the absence, but also to measure that the productive employees will be at work (if you can take some measures, then you can decide whether you are making progress or not). There are dozens of programs that can help you increase your company's health and wellness level. Some examples include healthy food and exercise programs subsidized in the office, ergonomic furniture and keyboards, bright colors, new plants and hand sanitizers.
Another option is to provide office allowances which in fact motivate employees to do the things you want them to do. In other words, ask them if a monthly contest or summer hours will be enough motivation to overcome some goals or objectives. According to an article in Fast Company magazine, ShortStack, a Facebook-customizing company chose "Free Food Friday" at $ 3,000 bonus per employee. Sometimes, it's not about money!
