Getting Work Done Effectively, Efficiently, and Enjoyably
The three “e’s” of the workplace: Effectiveness, efficiency, and enjoyment
are inter-related. When all three qualities occur in the workplace, work gets done and worker morale is high! When one or more of these “e’s” is neglected in the workplace, productivity and morale suffer.
Effective businesses create successful products that serve the needs of their customers – they do what they do well. They are responsive to changes in the business environment and in their workforce. Efficient businesses get their work done without wasting time. They have robust feedback systems that inform their work and lead to continuous improvement. When all parties enjoy the process and outcome of their work, turnover is low and productivity is high.
I enjoy working with businesses to support their processes and share skills to help them realize the three “e’s”.
