5 Tips for Maximising Productivity in Business

Whatever sector you work in, a successful business depends on the productivity of your workforce, which can be affected in various ways.

Here are five tips for getting the most out of your business with maximum impact on your reputation, profits and productivity.

1. Reward Your Staff for Their Successes

The policy of rewarding your staff when they’ve done a good job is a sure-fire way to create a loyal team that will be more likely to perform to their best.

Some examples include organising regular staff nights out, reward systems, and an employee of the month scheme to make each person feel valued in their contribution to the company.

2. Invest in Your Office Space

Your office space is hugely important in maintaining employee productivity and wellbeing. By having a space that is airy, well-ventilated and has comfortable furniture and tasteful décor will only morale substantially.

Additionally, a study found that just 29 minutes of fresh air led to a 45% increase in work productivity.

The same study found that 57% of managers felt that employees had been more productive since transitioning to remote working, which is also a growing trend in our post-Covid world.

Remote working has been shown to increase staff productivity substantially, as it allows for flexible working. This can benefit those with additional responsibilities like parents and carers.

3. Use Recruitment Software

If you’re a larger company, you might want to use high volume hiring at Oleeo as a solution to increasing your business’ productivity.

The artificial intelligence used in the software helps you to pick out the best candidates for your positions using data collection, meaning that you can spend less time having to pore over CVs and wordy applications.

As Oleeo relies on analytics and pre-built metrics to allow them to find the best applicants, this will result in you having the best team with skills that will allow them to carry your business to success.

4. Be Organised, Set Goals, Check In and Communicate

Communication and organisation are two of the most important factors of a successful business.

Be sure to check in regularly with your employees and set goals for the immediate tasks they’re working on, and in the long-term for their progression in the company.

Entrepreneur claims that setting goals gives employees “a sense of ownership and creates a deeper connection to the contribution of their work”.

5. Clients Come First

Another sign of a thriving business is their focus on their customer base. When people are investing money into a business, they like to be assured that they’re getting top quality service from their investment.

Prioritising customer service will also improve the positive exposure your business will get through recommendation from satisfied customers.
