Effective performance explained
Effective performance involves much more than just the speed or indeed the effort which people are seen to be applying at a point in time.
Effective performance is the real productivity measure of a worker or group of workers. It is the work content set against the attendance time. This is a more accurate reflection of the ‘output’ measured against the cost of a shift or day or week, which could well include wasted, ineffective or lost time.
The three key factors that contribute to effective performance
The three key factors that contribute to effective performance are utilisation, effort and method. Speed is certainly important but is often affected by organisational issues. This restricts the ability always to work consistently and quickly.
