Productivity is important but pushing harder and harder does not always work. Morale is going to impact productivity along with the workflows that have been established. Flexibility when it comes to optimizing processes can be so important for a company of any size. There is so much contrasting information online about employee motivation that needs to be ignored. Each individual on the team might be motivated differently and it is your job to figure out their motivation style. Empowering staff comes in a number of forms that drives productivity directly o indirectly. The following are areas that you can empower your staff in order to drive productivity. 

Affordable Quality Equipment Matters 

Figuring out what equipment is needed is important then is it important to do research. The best office copier features might not be common knowledge to those outside of the tech industry. You want to make sure staff can do their job at an efficient rate while maintaining the quality of products or services. Used equipment might not be up to standard in terms of what you need. Renting equipment is another option when cash flow is not exactly healthy during the infancy of a business. 

Virtual Assistants For Teams

Finding a quality virtual assistant to help with administrative work for teams can be massively important. This could include something like setting meetings or even prioritizing an email inbox. Finding a freelancer that can assist the team or entire company can easily be done on Upwork. You might only need a handful of hours per week with potential to expand as the company grows. You would be surprised as to how much more productive a team can be when certain tasks are taken off of their plate. 

Look For Tools That Make The Jobs Of Staff Easier

Technology is truly amazing when it comes to making the jobs of staff easier. Automation is going to be a part of the future whether businesses accept this now or in the future. Project management software is a perfect example of making workflows far more efficient. The ability to start being productive immediately rather than thinking about how to schedule the day can be important. Take the time to ask staff if there are any tools that they would like to try as they have heard or read great things about them.

Keep Morale In Mind When Setting Goals 

Setting unrealistic goals can lead to staff giving up on hitting a certain number. Discussing goals with top performers can be important as they might have tactics that can drive productivity. Tracking where top performers are spending their time can lead to the creation of new hire training. Look for consistent improvement rather than a massive uptick as this shows a mastery of a position. Tools can be used to track things like emails sent or even when a recipient opens an email. 


Productivity can help drive revenue to new heights for a business. Finding the balance between morale and productivity is going to take time. Empowering staff can drive everything to new heights.
