New Research Delivers Practical Guide For Measuring Labor Productivity

摘要

There's an excellent reason why successful electrical contractors continually strive to maximize labor productivity. Higher productivity levels lead to increased profitability, a competitive edge and the ability to pay workers higher wages, while completing projects sooner.Once a contractor is able to measure labor productivity, the effect of any factor or combination of factors can be assessed by comparing productivity values before and after the factor was in place, such as a new managerial approach or the use of new tools or equipment on a job. But electrical contractors must first learn the optimal ways in which to accurately measure and assess these values at various levels of their organizations. New research from ELECTRI International-The Foundation for Electrical Construction, Inc. addresses this issue and is intended to help contractors develop this skill.
