Half of employees don't know what productivity is

Seven in ten employees feel pressure from their bosses to be more productive - but almost one in two do not fully comprehend the term.

Only 55% of office workers completely understand what productivity means, according to research by PageGroup.

Perhaps contributing to their lack of understanding is lack of execution - with only a third (35%) saying their working day is always productive.

However, ambitions were not waned, as 78% said they wanted to be more productive than they are, with over one in four (27%) wanting to increase productivity levels significantly.
