TIPS FOR MEASURING
EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY

5. 1. SET THE
BENCHMARK
SET A STANDARD REFERENCE VALUE TO EASILY
COMPARE THE PRODUCTIVITY METRIC WITH THAT
SET VALUE.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO SET THE BENCHMARK FOR
EACH ROLE IN THE ORGANIZATION, THIS PROVIDES
THE EXPECTED OUTCOME FROM EACH ROLE.
THE EXPECTED PRODUCTIVITY METRIC OF EACH
ROLE IS COMPARED WITH THE ACTUAL OUTCOME OF
EACH ROLE BY ASSIGNING SPECIFIC TASKS TO THE
ROLES.

6. 2. MEASURE THE
ACTUAL TASKS NOT
THE COMPLETED
HOURS
WHEN THE MEASUREMENTS ARE DONE, ENSURE IT
RELATES TO THE IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF THAT ROLE
OR JOB.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE MEASURING THE
PRODUCTIVITY OF THE SALES TEAM, YOU CAN MEASURE
HOW EFFECTIVELY THE SUPPORT IS OFFERED TO THE
CUSTOMERS, THE NUMBER OF SALES MADE WITHIN THE
SPECIFIED TIME, OR HOW EFFECTIVELY THEY MEET THE
SALES TARGET, AND SO ON.

7. 3. SET CLEAR
BUSINESS GOALS
AND OBJECTIVES
PRODUCTIVITY IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE
BUSINESS GOALS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION. SO
WHETHER IT IS SHORT OR LONG TERM GOALS,
YOU NEED TO SET THE EXACT AND CLEAR
OBJECTIVE. YOUR GOALS COULD BE LIKE
INCREASING THE COMPANY PROFIT, GETTING
INTO A NEW MARKET, AND FINDING A HUGE
NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS.

8. 4. USE THE RIGHT
TOOLS TO
EVALUATE THE
PERFORMANCE
REPORTS
IT’S BETTER TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT EMPLOYEE
PRODUCTIVITY TOOL TO KNOW HOW THEY WORK
ON THEIR ASSIGNED TASK, ON WHAT TYPE OF
PRODUCTIVE APPS THEY WORK, AUTO
SCREENSHOTS TO TRACK THE REAL-TIME WORK
OF THE EMPLOYEES. ALL THESE BASIC FEATURES
OF THE TOOL PROVIDE AN AUTOMATED
PRODUCTIVITY REPORT OF THE TEAM OR THE
INDIVIDUAL, WHICH SAVES YOUR TIME IN
ANALYZING THE PERFORMANCE REPORTS.

9. 5. CONDUCT A
CLIENT SURVEY ON
A PERIODIC BASIS
A CLIENT SURVEY CONDUCTED PERIODICALLY
WOULD HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK AND MAKE THE REQUIRED
CHANGES TO MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS. THIS
SURVEY COULD ALSO HELP YOU TO GET BACK TO
POORLY PERFORMED INDIVIDUALS OR TEAMS AND
CAN ALSO RECOGNIZE THE OUTSTANDING
PERFORMANCE OF THE EMPLOYEES. THIS
INDIRECTLY HELPS YOU TO MEASURE
PRODUCTIVITY.

10. 6. GIVE IMPORTANCE
TO THE QUALITY OF
WORK
IN MEASURING PRODUCTIVITY, YOU NEED TO
PLACE A VALUE FOR WORK QUALITY THAN
QUANTITY OF THE WORK. THE TASKS NEED TO BE
COMPLETED WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME AND
ALSO SHOULD MEET THE REQUIRED STANDARD.
THIS ALSO SHOULD BE THE KEY PERFORMANCE
INDICATOR (KPI) OF EACH ROLE.

11. 7. MONITOR STAFF
WELL BEING
KEEP A TRACK OF STAFF WELL BEING IN YOUR
WORKPLACE. THIS AFFECTS EMPLOYEE
PRODUCTIVITY SO TRACKING ABSENTEEISM AND
PRESENTEEISM OF THE EMPLOYEES IS A KEY
POINT WHILE MEASURING PRODUCTIVITY.

12. 8. MAINTAIN OPEN-
DOOR POLICY
THERE WILL BE SO MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES
FOLLOWED BY SOME ORGANIZATIONS LIKE
HIERARCHICAL, MARKET, ETC. IT IS ALWAYS
BETTER TO FOLLOW AN OPEN-DOOR POLICY AND
THIS CULTURE ENCOURAGES THE EMPLOYEES TO
GO OUT OF HIERARCHY AND APPROACH ANY TOP
MANAGEMENT WHEN THEY FACE ANY KIND OF
WORKPLACE ISSUE.

13. Conclusion
Measuring actual productivity is a complex
process and the tips discussed will provide
you an idea on the ways to measure
employee productivity.
Each employee should perform well for
their set goals and for that you need to
understand how they are engaged to carry
out their goals and make necessary
changes so as to effectively measure
employee productivity.
