Improving Employee Productivity
Employee Productivity is a topic which quite often make it to C-level meetings. Improving the Productivity of Employees is “hot” and both scientific and popular literature describe how employee productivity can be enhanced from a wide variety of focus points.
In Management Information Systems for the Information Age (Cummings, Donovan, et al., 3rd ed. Toronto. McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 2006), seven key factors are proposed for increasing employee productivity:
- Availability;
- Accessibility;
- Reliability;
- Scalability;
- Flexibility;
- Performance;
- Capacity planning
When these key factors are extrapolated to the domain of the Facility Manager (the Workplace domain) Employee Productivity can be increased will increase by implementing an Integrated Workplace Management System. Although this statement seems quite blunt in the coming series we will describe each of the key factors and how an IWMS can help Facility Managers to improve their employees’ productivity.
