Increased Productivity

The following is an excerpt from an article by DrawSuccess founder and Chief Innovation Officer Brownell Landrum in the November 17 issue of ASTD Links Magazine:

Productivity is the merger of efficiency with accomplishment, and the relationship of effort to reward. In today’s world of “more with less,” maximizing productivity is even more imperative. One solution is to improve processes, which training can help execute. And, of course, as mentioned above, engaging employees in the process is also beneficial. However, another vital, yet often overlooked need is stress reduction. Without the release of tension through fun, yet productive activities, employees will burn out, which results in a significant reduction in productivity.
