Trend on remote or part-time work not only allowed employees to make their work-life balance healthier, but also introduced better hiring opportunities for organizations. Nowadays, the only limitation you have while looking for a suitable employee is the software & hardware equipment. But the brighter the future business outcome looks, the more it relies on efficiency of your staff from all over the world. 

What factors influence employee productivity

Employee productivity is the degree to which expected results are efficiently achieved through existing corporate inputs in a given amount of time. Workforce productivity increases overall profits, improves customer relations, creates a better corporate culture. There are three factors, defining individual efficiency: personal wellbeing and motivation, optimized processes and advance technologies in place. 

First, according to Maslow’s pyramid, several basic needs have to be quenched to get a person motivated to work on self-actualization. 

Second, if processes are not optimized, well-performed tasks might take longer time, as individual’s perfectionism might stay in a way to progress. 

Last, but not least, technologies are key. They will not only help organize processes, but empower people, allowing them to focus on tasks only they can perform, with no need to manage operations easily solved by software.

Highlight employees with burnout risks. Pay attention if an employee spends hours on job seeking sites or communicates with your competitors. You may want to review your corporate culture, rewards, or motivation.
