What is Employee Productivity ?

Employee Productivity is the production/revenue received during a specific period against the number of employees or resources consumed in that specific period. Productivity is measured differently depending on the industry.

Thus, in the manufacturing Industry, employee productivity can be measured in terms of units produced per period, units produced per employee, the worth of goods in dollars per period, the worth of goods in dollars.

Moreover, for the Sales/Marketing Industry, it is measured in terms of sale of units per employee per day, sales in dollar per employee per day.

Whereas, in the Service industry, employee productivity is measured in terms of clients/projects handled per employee, the number of projects completed per employee or per hour, etc.

Formula to Calculate Employee Productivity

The basic formula for calculating employee productivity is the output divided the input during a particular time.

Employee Productivity = Output / input

Types of Employee Productivity

There are 3 types of employee productivity:

• Unit Productivity,
• Dollar Productivity, and
• Hourly Productivity.

You can obtain employee productivity by dividing the average output per period by the total inputs consumed during that period. The input includes capital costs, energy costs, material costs, and manpower.

Furthermore, while we measure sales productivity, we will have to add a variety of additional outputs, like the number of new customers, the number of positive leads generated, and the volume of sales in dollars.

Moreover, in the service industry, as intangible outputs are involved you will be able to measure the number of customers served or the number of tasks completed.

Whereas, in the manufacturing industry, you will either measure the production per employee or worth of goods one employee can produce during that specific time.

Besides, productivity in the service industry changes depending on the industry. It all depends upon the purpose and industry for which you measure productivity.

Thus, as shown in the example below, turning the company into a sales company gives the revenue per salesperson, and the same in manufacturing shows the units per employee or worth of unit produced per employee.
