Employee productivity plays a major role in how much a company can grow and succeed. Productivity itself is incredibly important for you as an employee as well. It can create more opportunities and career paths for you, and if you weave it into a part of your company, you can see real benefits in your professional (and even personal) life.
However, only about 60% of work time is spent being productive. That’s mostly because the average employee is interrupted 56 times over the course of the day. There are differences between good and bad interruptions, and there are simple and easy ways to increase your work productivity throughout the day. The good news is that you can increase productivity across your team, building a stronger company along the way. The Advanced Hires team came together and created a list of work productivity tips that we are rolling out into a new blog series.
Today’s WORK PRODUCTIVITY TIP is: Remember to eat and drink throughout the day.
Eat healthy food and drink WATER! You are a product not only of your environment, but what you consume on all levels. Eating healthy whole foods and drinking WATER will make you feel better and more prepared to attack the day head on.
Make sure you are getting three full meals a day, plus any snacks you might need, as well as 8 glasses (or half a gallon) of clean drinking water a day. Having healthy diet will improve your mood, productivity, and overall demeanor. If you’re feeling grumpy at work, or ineffective, it might be helpful to ask yourself, When was the last time I ate something? When was the last time I refilled my water bottle? These things can completely impact your level of work ethic and are a simple way to improve your efficacy at work.
