When you are working you need to pay full attention to what you are doing in order to be as productive as the company you work for or your company needs you to be. Not all employees are productive in their jobs. While it is true that sometimes employees' personal problems will make it difficult for them to do their job well, it is necessary to give them a vote of confidence because it is not always their fault that they are not productive all the time.
There are some things that directly affect people's productivity, but also their emotional state and these are things that could be improved. If the company begins to think about its workers in the same way that it thinks about making money or getting rich, what is certain is that everyone would go to work with a smile and productivity would be much higher (and remember that productivity does not mean working longer hours).
Next I want to talk to you precisely about this, about the things that can affect you at work and what if they affect you, it will also affect your performance and productivity.
Working too many hours
In our country it is said that a full day is 8 hours, but I don't know anyone who works "only" 8 hours. Either to earn an extra salary because they do not make ends meet with work, or because the company requires that they finish work before the end of the day, or because meetings are held outside of working hours ... there may be many reasons, but people usually work more than 8 hours, between 9 and 12 is the average. There are too many hours and this makes our personal, family and social life too reduced and harmed, we feel very tired and cannot fully recover.
Not having labor flexibility
Being too rigid in work hours will stress employees. Everyone has lives outside of the office and maybe one day a child will get sick, or there is too much traffic, or the alarm clock just didn't go off. To motivate employees to be punctual or to do their job better, it is not a good idea to sanction, but rather the opposite. Work flexibility is a great idea for employees to reconcile their work and personal life. If this is possible, employees will feel less stressed and it will be much easier for them to be able to be more productive. For example, you can have flexible hours that the employees choose and that goes well for everyone and that in that time the employees coincide within the company to be able to hold meetings or whatever is necessary.
Too much stress at work
If an employee is too stressed, or overworked that he cannot cope, it is likely that at some point his body will tell him that he cannot cope and he will have to take some sick leave, perhaps it is a cold or perhaps a depression. Instead, with work teams or appropriate work assignments that people can perform according to their abilities, they are likely to be able to work longer and better.
Not having the necessary tools to be able to do the job well
Sometimes tools are needed that companies may not have or may not provide to their employees. It may be due to lack of economy or cutting too many expenses, but the reality is that employees cannot do their jobs well if when they arrive at their position they do not have the tools they need to carry out their work.
To ensure the performance of the company it is very important that staff have what they need to fulfill their role, either from something as simple as paper and pens, such as a printer, photocopiers, computers ... whatever is required at all times. It's an investment for productivity and employees need it.
Too authoritarian
In a company where the boss is the "superior being" it will only get the employees to reveal themselves. It is clear that the boss must have authority, but he will always have to speak to his employees horizontally, because everyone in this world, first of all, we are people.
