Local and international research has found that there are eight key
drivers that can improve the productivity, efficiency and profitability
of any business. They are:
- Creating a productive work culture based on shared values. Positive relationships between staff, teams and managers are the foundation of improving workplace productivity.
- Shared Goals and Vision. Productive organizations
know where they are going, what they will achieve and how everyone in
the organization contributes to achievement and success.
- Show positive attitude and superior alignment. The
skills and knowledge of people are a company’s biggest asset. To put it
simply what people know and can do is the difference between success
and failure. Making sure that the right resources are optimally used
creates profitability. The attitude that people show each day radically
impacts an organizations ability to align their resources effectively
and efficiently.
- Influencing, networking and collaboration.
Productive workplaces keep abreast of new ideas and technologies and
network regularly with others. Effectively influencing stakeholders is
key to revenue, collaborations and overall business success.
- Nature of leadership and management. Research
shows leadership needs to be developed at every level of an
organisation, not just amongst managers. The flexibility of individual
leadership style is the difference between an engaged or involved
workforce and a high-stress, low morale, ‘jobsworth’ inefficiency.
- 6. Outcomes and tactics. Productive
workplaces have structures, systems and processes that are
well-organised and adaptable. Successful organizations find the optimum
balance of (urgent) tasks and (important) goals.
- Learning and Review. The organisation that continually learns and shares is agile, flexible and successful.
- Measuring what matters. Productive workplaces
understand and measure the things that make the biggest difference to
their business, whether it’s customer satisfaction, employee morale or
feedback from suppliers. These indicators make it easy for everyone to
share goals and work towards them.
All of these drivers are the responsibility of the organisation’s
leadership. At CELSIM, we have more than 20 years experience in
