There’s no doubt that productivity is a key contributor to commercial and financial success. It is a driver of efficiency and has the power to transform resources into goods or services, boost economic activity and GDP, and drive meaningful and sustainable economic growth. Now the question becomes, how can we achieve productivity?
According to an Infor Perspective, How Technology Can Help HR Improve Employee Productivity, “modern technology deployed on smart devices, with built-in task automation that looks and feels like the technology employees use in their daily lives, should increase their ability to focus ‘on the job at hand’ and get more work done.”
HR Using Technology to Drive Productivity
HR professionals must ensure the employee experience is one that fosters a culture of hard work, job satisfaction, and efficiency. Technology can help them achieve this. The HR role includes:
- Ensuring the employee experience is one that supports, engages, and energises the workforce
- Focussing on quality management
- Driving technology as an enabler, not a distraction
- Developing a team that works together to achieve commercial goals

The Value of Productivity
As the US economist Paul Krugman famously said, “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything.”
Mervyn Dinnen, the talent and HR analyst who wrote the abovementioned Infor Perspective agrees. “Employee productivity may not be everything, but it is almost everything when it comes to how economists and companies measure business success, all over the world. Productivity and employee engagement is essentially how a nation transforms their resources, goods, and services to meet global market demand; and boost economic growth.”
