Productivity refers to the rate of output per unit of input in an industry. It is computed by dividing the average output over a period by the total costs incurred or resources used. Productivity in the workplace is implemented through teamwork and a shared vision between employees. It can be improved by motivating employees, maintaining a positive attitude, ensuring health and safety, using effective tools, and clear communication. Tracking tasks, taking breaks, setting deadlines, limiting multitasking, and reducing unnecessary meetings can increase productivity, while poor supervision, inconsistency, inappropriate behavior, and lack of delegation can decrease it. Productivity is also improved by increasing outputs while maintaining or decreasing inputs. Social networks can enhance productivity if policies allow for open access
