The productivity in a company may be measured firstly by observing the methods each employee uses for delivering tasks on a daily basis. Focusing on the employees’ individual approach to assignments creates a useful opportunity to start measuring the productivity in the company and moreover to search for ways to improve it, if necessary. The organizational growth highly depends on each employee’s contribution, therefore it is crucial to train them to develop a rigid and productive work schedule.
How employees perform their activities and how the results appear highly depends on the recognition they get for it. Employee compensation is greatly regarded by managers and employees alike, as it increases the motivation force among the company members, thus leading the company towards great achievements. The recognition employees get for their work should match the contribution and result of each and every one.
Employee engagement is a very popular concept nowadays. In a severe competition on most markets, the human resource represents an important competitive advantage.
