How to Increase Productivity: 5 Tactics to Implement in Your Business

Google and Facebook invest heavily in their workspaces because they recognize the importance of employee pleasure to productivity.

But this doesn’t mean that you should install a gym in your office, for instance. Researchers discovered that raising the temperature in an office by a few degrees can increase productivity.

And although office facilities such as the heating system may be inaccessible to your remote workers, you should investigate virtual alternatives. 

Was your office’s bimonthly burrito party a smashing success? Send your employees a little voucher for lunch and set up a video conference so that you may all eat together one day. A work team that feels valued will be more motivated to be productive and achieve the company’s goals.

If you and your staff want to see an improvement in output, you need to maintain your concentration. Every minute that is spent working for your company should be productive, but even the most dedicated and enthusiastic employees will occasionally allow their thoughts to wander and check social media for an additional five minutes.

Reduce the number of opportunities for distractions that aren’t necessary if you want to maintain your level of productivity. Delete any apps on your phone that could be a distraction, or at the very least, put them on mute while you’re at work.

You should turn off your phone’s notifications, or even better, you should turn off your phone and put it in a drawer somewhere.

Try to encourage your staff to maintain a notebook with them at all times so that they can jot down any distracting thoughts and then put those thoughts out of their minds. This is an exercise in visualization that will help you get rid of distracting ideas so that you can focus on the activity at hand.

First and foremost, tell your colleagues that they shouldn’t be hard on themselves if they become sidetracked at any point throughout their work. Instead, they ought to coax their thoughts back to the activity at hand in a gentle manner.
