Some good news about productivity

Yes, there are some bright spots in the current economic climate. According to a recent survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 6.2 % annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2009. Overall, the productivity increase for the whole of 2009 was 5.1%, the biggest such jump in worker output since 2002.
Two likely factors are involved in this latest report: one is the employment situation, which means that fewer employees are being asked to do more work. But the other is the advent of better, faster ways to get the job done, principally new technology and new office designs that can turbo charge everyone’s personal productivity.
It’s a profoundly altered business environment that we all face. New markets are opening up all the time. Customers expect instant responses to their requests. If I and my teammates are going to succeed, we have to do more, get there first and access the latest data concerning our industry and our customers.
Fortunately, the dazzling technology available in today’s most advanced offices makes it easy to be at your best and maximize your effectiveness. You can connect instantly with customers and colleagues, wherever and whenever.
