That being said here are our 5 tips for creating a productive workforce.

Communicate Effectively
Don’t let your employees find out about what’s happening in the company at the water cooler.
Providing clear high-level communication on corporate strategy will improve employee morale
and give off the right signals, making everyone feel a valued part of the company!
 

Provide Training and Development
Although some initial investment is needed the research is there that this investment will result
in the overall improvement of productivity in the long run. Trained employees are less
frequently overwhelmed or frustrated and have that inner confidence to better brand
ambassadors for your company. In addition when it comes to attracting talent, ongoing
development is always high on the agenda of any elite career professionals
Create Clear and Concise Performance Goals
Setting goals with your employees benefits both the employee and employer generating both
focus and productivity. Keeping these goals realistic and easily measurable is critical in enabling
your employees to achieve them in a reasonable amount of time boosting morale and leaving
them with a real sense of achievement. Using relevant software is crucial in keeping employees
on track, and managers up to date with their progress.

Prioritize employee health and wellbeing
Well being includes fitness, nutrition, financial health and work/life balance. A workplace
culture that supports employee wellbeing rather than solely focusing on profits is better for
employees and employers alike. Making the commitment to increase workplace wellness levels
extends far beyond productivity alone. Healthy employees have higher levels of engagement
and retention as well.

Employment policies and education: 

Making sure that clear policies are in place for activities such as internet use, conducting
personal business during office hours or gossiping on the job are key components of productive
organisations. Taking the time to discuss any concerns with your employees is just as important
and should be encouraged at every opportunity. Awareness is the first step toward prevention.

Summary:  The best investment that any company can make is in their employees. Not only is it
critical to attract the best staff, but even more important is retaining a strong and productive
workforce.  Find Out More about increasing Employee Productivity
