Geektastic:No wonder our productivity is poor. This ridiculous Christmas shutdown, together with the fact that work seems to dwindle to almost nothing for the last 2 weeks before Christmas and the first two or three weeks of January, must equate to NZ working at best an 11 month year...!
High time that was consigned to the bin. It's not even much of a money saving exercise these days, I would think - most businesses with fixed costs will continue to incur them over the shutdown but to no advantage since no work is being done.
I dont think productivity has much to do with this - it is more I think related to the cost of doing business which I would suggest is an efficiency metric.
Productivity in factory terms is simply a rate of measure of output, in office terms it is more the number of planned tasks for a given cost rate.
