Are You in the Habit of Being Productive?

What is productivity? What does it look like for your team, and how can you keep your agency’s employees motivated to meet its mission?

Increasing productivity doesn’t have to be complicated, and moving forward doesn’t always require charts, schedules, and complex plans.

Here are three quick takeaways that your agency can apply boost its productivity:

1. Leaders set the tone for congenial collaboration. To cultivate a productive, collaborative culture, prioritize non-competitive idea sharing and genuine connections. Adopt easy-to-use virtual meeting and project-tracking tools.
2. A workplace where everyone feels comfortable will be productive. Encourage flexibility to accommodate different schedules, working styles, locations and other accessibility challenges.
3. Focus on the problem you plan to solve and on what will help your team. Choose the right time for change, adopt technology specific to the task, and be patient as people learn new tools and navigate the transition.
