5 THINGS THAT HINDER YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Sometimes, lack of skill is not the reason why employees are not able to perform well at work. When an employee has solved any problem, or has introduced any innovation, or even has just finally get his work done and the management does nothing about it, the employee might not work as well as he did the next time. Equally so, when the management does not provide an arena for growth, the employee might feel that his job is only about finishing what he thinks he is required to do by his contract. Thus, when an employee is not acknowledged, he may lose interest in providing the company with the highest quality of his performance.

INADEQUATE TECHNOLOGIES

Jobs that necessarily require the involvement of the internet, information systems and tools may hasten productivity. However, just as it could help, at times when company technology has not been upgraded, the use of it may do more harm than good. Thus then, even how skilled a worker may be, when the tools he uses to perform his tasks are out of date, it will result to working at slower pace. Say, for an online bookkeeper, when the accounting software being used to cater accounting services is out-dated, the bookkeeper may not improve his workflow and worse, could not be able to meet the deadlines or provide real-time accounting services.
