Nowadays, business is all about productivity - and our folks produce.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Productivity is driven at the enterprise level. Better wages, better performing workplaces, are driven at the workplace level.
Productivity - the amount of output delivered per hour of work in the economy - is often viewed as the engine of progress in modern capitalist economies. Output is everything. Time is money. The quest for increased productivity occupies reams of academic literature and haunts the waking hours of C.E.O.s and finance ministers.
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
If productivity grows, the economy does well.
And ours is a business that requires discipline and focus.
Productivity depends on many factors, including our workforce's knowledge and skills and the quantity and quality of the capital, technology, and infrastructure that they have to work with.
Business is where you practice your human skills. It's where you grow.
We will reinvent productivity to empower every person and every organization on the planet to do more and achieve more.
In the industrial world we have the problem of having more productive capacity than we know what to do with. That's at the root of the unemployment crisis: we've got so productive at making things, we don't require people to be involved in making the basics of life any more. Or nearly as many people.
Our business is about technology, yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.
