Staff Management: Put Systems in Place to Measure Productivity

A key point of employee goal-setting is to help your staffers become more productive. That’s why you don’t want to confuse activity with progress. Put systems in place for measuring productivity throughout your catalog company. Then live by those productivity measurements.

Remember this mantra: What gets measured gets done. Create policies ensuring that the “urgent” doesn’t take precedence over the “important.” And do everything you can to eliminate redundancies and busywork.
