National Productivity Day is observed every year in India on February 12. The objective of the National Productivity Council is stimulating and promoting productivity and quality consciousness across all sectors in the country. The main observance of the day is to encourage all stakeholders in the implementation of productivity tools and techniques with contemporary relevant themes.
History of World Productivity Day
One of the less well-known celebratory days, World Productivity Day does not have a central focus for celebration. It's instead an occasion for suppliers of productivity tools, training, and advances to celebrate their contributions and give something back to their users. For example, some consultancy firms use the event to provide free online sessions to prospective clients to demonstrate what a difference focus on productivity can make. Other, less relevant, businesses also use World Productivity Day to draw attention to their products and services in the context of getting the most out of work. Coffee and other caffeinated beverage manufacturers use the day as a chance to promote the putative benefits of using their products to stay alert and productive at work. Companies that sell products such as chocolate that can be used to reward productivity may also choose to use the occasion as a chance to promote this. It's a great opportunity to see how your business can shine, and what steps you can take to really drive productivity in the coming year. Be sure to thank those companies that most aid your productivity, and recognize those employees who make all the difference when things come down to a crunch.
How to celebrate World Productivity Day
It all starts with remembering those who make your productivity possible, but that's just the beginning. Once you've thanked the people and companies that help to keep you on track and help to streamline your day to day business, it's time to start getting back to keeping productive. Start looking at your processes and seeing where waste can be cut out of them, set yourself a list of things to accomplish and where you think productivity is lacking so you can identify problem areas and start an action plan to solve it.
