Productivity

"Productivity is the efficiency of producing goods or services expressed by some measure."

It is about protecting your business, staff, and earning potential.
The term work smarter, not harder is such a true saying, but few people like to delve into its true meaning. To improve you and your team's productivity, you have to look at how you and your team are completing tasks, whether be manufacturing a product, carrying out a task, or providing a service. It all comes down to a cost.
People generally work between 80% and 120% of their capability. Sometimes slow and methodical is needed, and sometimes more haste is required. It all depends on the product, service, or task that is required, and what measure is in place to quantify whether your productivity allowances are being achieved.
Having an outsider coming in and looking at productivity can be very uncomfortable for everyone, simply because, as humans, we have emotions, and at first, someone observing how they complete their work can be seen as an uncomfortable experience; for others, they excel at it.
A few examples
Let's say it's a retail shop. It may be about the delivery schedule and when it arrives, and we need to look at your staff schedule. It may be that you are replenishing your products at the busiest times. Therefore, your staff are working around customers making it more unproductive. Or it could be that you need to have firmer policies in place ref media devices. Or it could be the wrong person is in the wrong position.
From an office point of view, people could repeatedly carry out the same task, and there could be tech solutions. Are the staff multi-skilled? Salespeople are used to having their sales monitored, but how? Is it no of leads related? Conversion against leads? Is it time spent with each lead? Maybe you measure margin?
What about providing a service, is the time given realistic and safe to complete in the allotted duration? Is it done in the manner the business requires?
