Within the concept of productivity there are a series of terms that must be taken into account as fundamental levers that affect these ratios: technology, the organization of a company, human resources management and the quality of the process.
To become aware of each one of them, the first step to take is to establish measurement systems for each of these variables so that, based on their analysis, it is possible to establish improvement plans, identify, minimize or eliminate waste activities or finally measure the cost/benefit of the change towards automation processes, etc.
In the words of Daniele Tramontín, commercial director of Adecco Outsourcing: “Productivity and efficiency as a synonym of professionalization, facilitate the entry of new technical and technological solutions to the process, representing the true gateway to innovation that at the same time generates greater productivity and efficiency”.
The Adecco Outsourcing Barometer on productivity and efficiency has been carried out on a sample of 2,024 directors, managers and middle managers, between 18 and 65 years of age, who work for others, in 30 representative activity sectors of our business fabric .
Productivity and efficiency in Spanish companies
The first important point to focus on is how Spain is in terms of productivity. According to this survey, the average level of productivity and efficiency of the company in Spain stands at 58.78 points on a scale from 0 to 100, that is, 6 out of 10 companies in our country apply and monitor policies focused on improvement of productivity.
9.88% of Spanish companies have a very low sensitivity towards productivity, 8.5% low, 11.66% discreet, 14.72% moderate, and 15.02% notable, while a 16.85% have a focus on productivity and high efficiency and 7.02% very high.
In other words, 23.9% of Spanish companies have outstanding productivity, but the vast majority have a wide margin for improvement to make their processes more efficient in order to maximize their opportunities and resources.
The trend is that the larger the organization, the more score it obtains and shows greater sensitivity to productivity.
Thus, companies with fewer than 10 employees are below average, with 47.18 points on a scale from 0 to 100, and the most productive are those with 250 to 1,000 employees, with 67.92 points. . Those with more than a thousand workers see this indicator slightly reduced (64.33).
The most productive sectors
Productivity is a determining factor in the economic growth of a country, hence the importance of its analysis in the different sectors.

The sectors with the highest efficiency and with the greatest sensitivity towards productivity are Information and communications (69.76 points out of 100), Financial and insurance activities (68.86) and Electricity, gas, steam and air supply (68.75 ).
