Sample Press Release #9 of Kathleen Madrid del Rosario Manuel 10.39 AM 08/08/2022. Apollo Technical, an IT and engineering recruitment agency, conducts research on productivity. Source: https://www.apollotechnical.com/employee-productivity-statistics/ ________________________ IT and engineering recruitment agency Apollo Technical has come up with 15 productivity statistics for 2022 Defined as “an assessment of the efficiency of a worker or group of workers,” employee productivity is necessary for a company to turn a profit. However, according to this Apollo Technical research, workers are productive only 60% of the time and are more productive when they are working at home. Some scenarios that hamper productivity are getting called or interrupted every 3 minutes as well as ineffective meetings. The most useful statistic is that of those polled, many workers have said that they are more productive when working from home. This is because they do not have to commute to work, dress up for work and since there are no commutes, they feel more comfortable doing their job even to the point of extending more hours after work to finish a project. The statistics indicates that 86% of employees prefer to get work done alone. This is both in the workplace and home scenario. People say there are less distractions when they work alone and are separated from others. They can give their total focus on the work. There is also less distraction from the environment. A word on meetings indicates that many employees do the following in meetings: daydream (91%), slept (39%), worked on other work (73%), considered it a waste of time (50%) and complained that it was ineffective (89%). For most thus, meetings are very unproductive. Some of the good findings show that when employees are allowed to participate in big decision-making, they become more productive. If they are allowed to input on big decisions they feel more respected and their voice heard, and this makes them more productive at work. One of the good findings is that if employees are allowed to work from home one day a month their happiness increases by 24%. When happiness increases, productivity increases. The study overall says that productivity can be increased with good morale produced from working from home, being asked inputs for major decision in the company and if more people are allowed to work from home at least once a month and to work on their tasks alone meaning by themselves. The last reason also helps many introverted workers.
