Workplace productivity is effected by the correct body posture and the correct face expression.

So Focus - the workplace productivity program - comprises the correction of both; that, in turn, opens the third eye chakra and the crown chakra.

Most organisations probably make the assumption that happy employees are productive employees. This seems to makes sense, and certainly most managers and staff would agree that this is the case.

However, there is little empirical evidence to support this supposition. There may be two reasons for this: firstly, it is almost impossible to define or measure 'happiness' in this context - morale (which might be perceived as the same thing) is a volatile commodity, and not susceptible to objective measure - and, secondly, productivity is also (at best) awkward to measure. This may not have been the case when the UK was primarily a manufacturing economy, but in today's service economy productivity is a very different thing. Very few jobs are so simple now that output can be easily measured - perhaps call centres are one of only a few examples - and most jobs contain too great a variety of tasks for simple measures to be applied.

At the same time, facilities managers have responsibility for what is generally accepted as one of the key elements in ensuring 'happy' employees - the workplace. Management theorists including Mayo, Hertzberg and Maslow have all identified the importance of the environment as an essential component in the process of motivating staff, without which other motivating activities have no effect. So how can facilities managers work to help improve productivity, and how will anyone know if they have done so?

What staff want and need

The first step is to focus on the employees' needs. Too often, facilities providers focus on the buildings rather than the occupants, and that really is a cart before the horse approach. If we assume that staff are not homogeneous, what generality of things would be useful for them in their workplace? Perhaps considering some of the psychology of work and the workplace would be helpful - and again, too few facilities staff understand this area of work.

In my weekend training session for the workplace productivity, I just correct your body posture and face expression; and the workplace productivity ensues.

You discover the real physical nature of your body that makes you feel energetic instantly as a result of undergoing the workplace productivity program.

The only thing left, then, is to turn this personal discovery into your spontaneity - of body and mind; and the instant workplace productivity turns into the lasting workplace productivity for life!
