This document discusses lessons on improving workplace productivity from the TV show "The Office". It suggests that understanding customer value is key, and that many workplaces spend more time on non-essential activities like gossip than on value-adding work. Root causes for lack of productivity need to be addressed. While organizations may have solutions in mind, they often lack the will to implement them effectively. Maintaining patience and focusing on solutions over drama and confrontation can also help improve productivity over time.

1. 8 Workplace Productivity
Lessons We All Learned From
"The Office"
B Y - V A R T I K A K A S H Y A P

2. How to improve productivity in the
workplace. Let’s get started!

3. When no one in the office has full understanding of
what generates value for customers, clients or
consumers, other improvement exercises will be of no
use.
It all starts with the desire to add value

4. Plans on the wrong track should be brought
back in place
The implication of the statement is clear. No matter he’s
there or not, the team is never very much productive. At the
same time, they’re not focused on value-adding activities
too.

6. One shall know the problem better than the
solution
While the team at The Office isn’t very productive, at the
same time it’s not focused on value-adding activities too.
Rooting out why the team isn’t into such activities is
required.

7. Systematized solutions are the next step towards
improvement
While most of the organizations have the capabilities to
systematize solutions, they, however, lack the will or the
understanding required to apply them effectively.

8. The lesser is the game-playing, the lesser is the
drama
The team in The Office spends far more time spying,
posturing and gossiping than actually creating value. And
unfortunately, it won’t be wrong to say that it’s common in
many of the workplaces.

9. Staying calm is always better than confronting
The Office boss, Michael Scott, is one boss who makes racist
and sexist comments every now and then. Complaining
about this led the HR to bring in the diversity training.

10. A little humor gets you through the rough patches
From stressful meetings to terrible bosses and even bad
breakups to fights at home, one can have many reasons to
be sad at work. All of these situations are draining and
work like a hiccup to productivity.

12. Patience will certainly bring everything together
Delays in the working world are a common thing. However,
whenever we are forced to wait we realize how things are
not in our control.

13. One final thought:
When one is really into how to improve productivity in the
workplace, the issues, as well as their solutions will be
clear. The change might not be immediate, but the
productivity that will occur because of the adjustments is
imminent.
