How to Improve Employee Productivity: 7 Ways to Increase Workplace Motivation

It’s widely known that an organisation’s success is dependent on its employees working together to achieve their collective goals and that only comes with motivation. So what businesses really need to know is how to create an environment that increases employee productivity in the workplace.

In this article, we will explore why motivation is crucial to an organisation’s employee productivity and success while outlining strategies that businesses should adopt to keep their team motivated. We will also show you how Csuites’ collaborative workspaces and team-building activities can help.

Maintaining an excellent employee productivity level is crucial for the success of organisations in today's rapidly changing business environment. However, employee motivation and engagement play a major role if you want to maintain or improve employee productivity. The business owner or manager should create a professional environment that inspires and motivates the team to perform at their best.

It is essential to provide employees with autonomy over their working arrangements to promote a healthy work-life balance, increase employee satisfaction, and increase workplace productivity overall in the post-Covid era. The Csuites system gives employees immediate access 24 hours a day, which enables them to manage their schedules and environment effectively.

There are several benefits to both employees and organisations if they advocate continuous learning. Businesses show a commitment to the professional development of their employees by providing opportunities for training and upskilling.

Csuites' Lunch & Learn workshops, for example, allow employees to learn from industry experts and gain new skills in a relaxed setting. It’s beneficial for their professional growth and helps build relationships with other team members and increases motivation levels. 

Encouraging open communication, active listening, and idea sharing creates a safe space for employees to voice opinions. It impacts employee motivation significantly and is only achieved through an open environment.

Salesforce research found that employees who feel their voice is heard at work are 4.6 times more likely¹ to be empowered to do their best work.

To facilitate open communication despite increasingly popular remote-work arrangements, it is essential to implement collaborative tools and platforms that support effective communication and streamlined workflows, like virtual collaboration tools, like those offered by Csuites.

Strong leadership provides employees with guidance, direction, and a sense of purpose. A study² conducted by Gallup revealed that employees who feel supported and guided by their leaders are more likely to be engaged and motivated in their work.

When your team knows what they are working towards through a clear vision and guidance, it fosters collaboration and inspires them to work together towards their common goals.

Celebrating work achievements is a powerful motivational tool. According to a survey, the presence of an incentive programme is a significant factor in retaining staff, with 66% of employees citing it as a motivating factor to stay at their job, emphasising the value of verbal recognition and team celebrations.  

Prioritising well-being is crucial to improve employee productivity as they will take fewer sick days, deliver higher performance and have lower rates of burnout.

At Csuites, employee wellness is a priority and the organisation has implemented various initiatives to ensure its team remains healthy and productive. The office environment includes standing desks, ergonomic furniture and numerous plants throughout the workspace to promote physical health.

To encourage mental well-being, employees can take part in regular yoga sessions or meditation classes held by experienced instructors. There are also frequent health challenges that allow staff members to connect while taking care of their physical fitness goals. Healthy snack options are available for employees who want to refuel without compromising on nutrition.
