A recent study of Fortune 500 companies demonstrated that an incapacitating amount of information costs a firm $1 billion in lost productivity per year.
In a typical 8 hour working day an average employee is productive for approximately 6.0 to 6.5 hours per day. A recent poll of 181 people showed that the most productive time of day was in the morning between 9:00 and 11:00.
Given this reduced amount of hours of productivity from employees, it is important for industry to capitalize on the performance of their workforce. However organizations are becoming increasingly aware of poor performance, which may be for reasons that are not entirely the fault of the employees themselves. It comes down to communication. Typical reasons for poor employee performance are;
- The employee has a poor understanding of what is expected of them
- Lack of training or knowledge, so they are unable to perform their required tasks
- “information pollution” – i.e. distractions
- The employee is not suited for the job
- The employee is a poor performer in many aspects of their work
As organizations grow it becomes increasingly important to standardize working practices. Deliverables from tasks carried out by employees can otherwise become unpredictable, un-measurable and lead to poor quality workmanship.
If you introduce simple-to-understand and engaging instructions for a workforce to reference, their knowledge and understanding not only improves performance but also improves employee morale.
Studies have shown that those companies who produce in-house PowerPoint presentations are playing a dangerous game. PowerPoint presentations can be a significant productivity killer. They can be very time consuming to produce and what started out as an intended education tool quickly becomes a hindrance if the PowerPoint presentation is of poor quality and leads to a phenomenon sometimes referred to as “Death–by-PowerPoint”. It has therefore proven a wise investment to outsource this responsibility.
CompanyCapture provides a unique solution which will increase employee performance. Their “Combined Learning Resource” package (shown below), is based on the foundation of an efficient process designed by CompanyCapture process experts in direct consultation with the customer.
The business process designed is accompanied by a professionally illustrated presentation explaining the various activities within the process. CompanyCapture uses the latest technologies and skills to design eye catching, enjoyable, professionally designed presentations that can be embedded directly on an organizations’ website for ease of access by employees. The “Combined Learning Resource” is designed to illustrate an organization’s processes. Tasks undertaken by employees are explained to ensure complete understanding. With an organization’s valued workforce feeling more confident about what is expected of them, the overall quality of work produced improves.
