Workplace Productivity

State Services Workplace Productivity Snapshot Tool

How to use this tool

This self-assessment productivity tool is designed for employees and managers in the State Services.  It is not designed to provide you with a ‘scientific’ analysis of your organisation’s performance but it may get you thinking about areas in which you can make improvements in your organisation, based on the seven workplace productivity drivers.  Feel free to modify this tool to suit the needs of your workplace. 

There are also a variety of tools available on the market that you may wish to investigate.

Workplace productivity initiatives can bring enormous benefits for any organisation.  They help to create the sort of environment where people work well as a team and new ideas can flourish.  People feel more motivated and valued, which helps organisations to recruit and retain skilled staff.  Over time, workplace productivity initiatives create opportunities which benefit everyone. 

Further advice and resources on workplace productivity are available from the State Services Commission, Department of Labour, other government agencies, the Public Service Association, industry bodies and professional associations.
