Productivity Influences

​

The graphic below shows the factors that have an influence on productivity with absenteeism being at the centre.

​

Although the graphic splits the factors into three common themes, often the factors are intrinsically linked to one another. For instance, if you are commuting a long way to your workplace, it is also likely that you will have affected sleep patterns.

The solution - flexible working. It could be that your role allows you to work from home one day per week. If that is not possible, working slightly longer days may enable you to work 4 instead of 5 days giving the same amount of total hours but with extra time to recuperate.

​

Often a solution to increasing health and wellbeing requires lateral thinking as well as a willingness by both employee and employer to negotiate.
