Employee productivity—working effectively and efficiently toward a business goal—is key to the success of a company. But improving productivity is easier said than done. Improving productivity involves two challenges: how to measure productivity and how to increase it. Both these challenges only become more difficult as your company grows: as you gain more employees, more products, or more processes, you lose visibility into your business and where the challenges and opportunities for growth may lie. Thankfully, a modern ERP like Sage 100 can help you gain visibility back, measure employee productivity easily, and improve employee productivity through data-driven decisions.
Measuring Employee Productivity
The most fundamental way to measure productivity is to compare how many goods or services your business produces with how much time and resources your company uses to produce those products. Finding this data can prove very difficult. Such a large metric requires robust software. With Sage ERP software, you can easily store, analyze, and report on the productivity data you gather.
Sage can become a central repository for all data company-wide, which not only connects your entire business operation, but also provides insights into how your resources are used, opportunities for increased productivity, and avenues of communication between your employees.
Once the ERP collects the relevant data, you can use Sage’s built-in reporting features to convey that information to relevant stakeholders. Sage ERP software provides customizable reports that enable you to make data-driven decisions. With real-time data, you can spot trends, opportunities, and issues quickly, allowing you to make the most of your resources and avoid the domino effect of any problems.
Increasing Employee Productivity
Research by Zippia shows the average worker is productive for only one third of an eight-hour workday. Several factors contribute to unproductive behavior, including stress, business inefficiencies, and distractions. While you cannot solve many of these problems, there are steps you can take to increase productivity through implementing an ERP like Sage 100.
In the first place, Sage ERP software stores and synchronizes data across the entire organization, and you have control over who sees what data. With real-time, accurate data, as well as the ability to easily communicate and share information within Sage, employees can more easily collaborate and coordinate actions. This communication reduces the risk of duplicate or contradictory actions or decisions, thus reducing wasted work.
Through Sage ERP software, you can also take control of your business processes and workflows, automating previously manual processes where possible and identifying particular inefficiencies or bottlenecks in your current workflows. Implementing strategic solutions, such as standardizing disorderly procedures and automating as many processes as possible, can free up time for your employees to spend on higher-value projects.
Lastly, Sage also allows for enhanced resource monitoring and management. Not only can you see exactly which tangible resources are being used and when, you can also see which processes are taking the most employee time (an intangible resource!). When you save money and time by increasing efficiency, you also increase productivity.
