The important of Productivity in Organization

What makes your company less productive?

Chances are, your employees know the answer to this one.

They are quick to respond with issues like endless meetings, overflowing email, and more.

And yet management wonders why work isn’t getting done.

Is your company ignoring productivity problems in the workplace?

Here are the Top 10 Productivity Problems that Your Company Is Ignoring:

1. Meetings Free-For-All – Meetings are the biggest time waster in many companies. Anyone can call one. They are too long. Most have no agendas. Nor is there any follow-up. Most companies would be better off without them.

2. Email Chaos – Do your employees live in their inboxes? Do they spend the majority of their day shuffling through email? The email game has become the modern age version of “paper pushing.” Send enough emails and people will assume that you are getting work done. (See #5)

3. No Deadlines – Are deadlines more like “guidelines” in your workplace? Project extensions are the norm. Nothing is really delivered on time. And there are no repercussions for late work.

4. No Work-Life Boundaries – Do your employees know where their job ends and their life begins? If not, they will endure unneeded stress, interruptions, eventual burn-out. To make this worse, many companies recognize those who sacrifice their personal life, even if it destroys them.

5. Rewarding Busyness Instead of Productivity – Many companies reward busyness. Why? Because it is easy. It is simple to reward movement, busyness, even commotion. It takes actual effort to determine who is actually having an impact and delivering value to the business. (Note: This requires leadership…)

6. Accepted Lateness – Meetings are expected to start late. The 9AM meeting becomes known as the 920 meeting. (Because that is when it actually starts…) People don’t give a second thought to those that traipse in 10, 20, or 40 minutes late to a meeting.

7. Work Environment – Where your employees work great impacts their ability to get work done. Too many companies ignore this. Noise, clutter, inadequate facilities. All of these reduce your team’s effectiveness.

8. Misguided Policies – Senior leadership (and HR) loves to implement policies without regard as to the productivity impacts they create. No offices. No closed door policies, etc. One company I worked with eliminated all offices to encourage team unity. Within 3 months, no one could get any work done because they were all over each other. Team members couldn’t even hold a conversation because they had eliminated all the office walls.

9. Restrictive Tech – Technology is supposed to be a work enabler. It is supposed to allow workers to get more done, not to hinder them. Yet, many companies continue to struggle with technology. Needless restrictions. Inadequate tools. And simply non-working systems.

10. Rework – “If you don’t do it right the first time, you will end up doing it over.” This applies from the smallest status update to multi-million dollar corporate projects. Unfortunately, many companies do not learn this until after spending the millions.

Health Issues..

FAT IS A FEMINIST ISSUES : OBESITY

According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, obesity has risen to be one of the top three global social burdens generated by human beings. This places obesity on the same scale of impact as smoking and armed violence, war and terrorism.

Obesity alone has made an impact of roughly US$2 trillion (RM7 trillion), an equivalent of about 2.8% of the world’s gross domestic product. For a sense of scale, smoking makes an impact of about US$2.1 trillion, 2.9% of the world’s GDP, while armed violence, war, and terrorism (with military budgets counted in) clocks in at about US$2.1 trillion as well, for a 2.8% impact, the same as obesity.

Of note is that the Malaysian Association for the Study of Obesity (MASO) had already published a paper in 2005 that would show the trend of obesity in Malaysia reaching where it is now.

Based on the MASO paper, “ as a result of industrialism, urbanization and economic stability in Malaysia, significant changes in diet and lifestyle have occurred. This has had a dramatic impact on the health of the population as evidenced from the increased prevalence of obesity and chronic non-communicable diseases”.

The two types of diabetes is heart issues, hypertension and osteoarthritis among the diseases that are more likely to occur with obesity. Take, as an example, hypertension. On its own, it causes feelings of light-headedness, which would impair a work day already. However, hypertension also brings with it the increased likelihood of strokes, and these, in turn, could be fatal.

It boils down to simple mathematics. With a higher rate of obesity, there is a higher chance that someone working for a company is obese, which, when coupled with the higher chances of illness among the obese, would lead to a higher possibility of a loss of productivity for the company.
