The summertime is great for barbeques and family get-togethers, but can actually be a strain on businesses. Productivity tends to decline in the warmer months as distractions are plentiful and workers are weary of the indoors. There are several areas attributed to causing this decline in productivity. Some areas are in a business’s control while others are not. One simple way they can help control this is by keeping the temperature in the office at a comfortable level- too cool or too hot and productivity declines and errors increase. Keep the office space between 70-72 degrees for optimal production. Another aspect a company can control is vacation time. Many workers do not have the time they need to really rest and recharge. Make sure you are granting your employees the necessary time they need to rest to be at their best, not only for their sake but also for yours.
