Improving Productivity Through People


The financial instability and political tensions facing major economies around the world have forced employers to rethink their business strategies and consider how best to optimise the performance of their workforce to boost productivity.

Key points incude:

 
- Effective business leaders need to fully understand that they are only as good as their people, and that they will only be able to lead to the best of their ability by engaging with, and listening to, these valuable assets.

- A strong leader will set a tone that motivates, inspires and engages their staff and welcomes collaboration.

- A strong leader will coach employees to exceed their own expectations about their performance, which means encouraging staff to take risks and subsequently accept failure as part of this support.

- But, most importantly a strong leader recognises the value of engagement over lucrative pay deals in  driving productivity.
