Nowadays, more business entities are putting pressure towards more productivity, employees doing complex tasks, better return on invested money.  The effectiveness and personal growth of a manager is highly dependent on the success of achieving these objectives. In achieving these objectives, the manager has to establish unyielding and challenging, yet realistic work standards in the workplace. The work standard must be inclusive of all aspects involving performance and behavioral standards to be complied by the employees.

The following can help determine whether a manager knows what and how it takes to improve productivity in the workplace:

• Every subordinate must have thorough knowledge about their functions and responsibilities in order to perform effectively and efficiently.
• There should be an established system for verification and proper coordination to guarantee all works that will leave the department are complete and accurate.
• A regular schedule for maintenance of all office equipments in the department must be available to prevent backlogs in the expected output from the department.
• There is a close monitoring of subordinates attendance, absenteeism and tardiness are properly dealt with according to company policy.
• Be a good example to subordinates by showing a strong and positive attitude with regard to loyalty, excellence, and pride in the workplace.
• Encourage creativity in the workplace by helping the subordinates decide and solve their own work related problems.
• Training programs are regularly upgraded in order to improve technical skills of subordinates.
• Have an organized program and follow-up that ensures good housekeeping and safety in the workplace.
• Regularly monitor subordinates’ actual performance against standard.  Make the subordinate aware as to what areas of performance needs improvement.
• Influence the subordinates in the workplace by observing and promoting excellent quality service to customers.

“One word is enough to a wise man.” This saying oftentimes is an expression commonly uttered by superiors to induce subordinates when they want certain tasks done at once. However there are superiors who could not initiate pressure even when they wanted things accomplished. At a certain circumstances however, it is advantageous to put pressure to employees. .

A study revealed that without the application of stress, people will not exert effort to reach their full potential. A superior should be able to do pre-evaluation using the available subordinate’s personal record to determine the psychological make-up of the person specially its tolerance level to stress when given certain tasks with deadlines. There is an optimal level of stress when properly applied to an individual that would result to favorable performance. The pressure can be put to use when the superior knows previously what kind of stress can yield productivity and which kind can be likewise damaging.

As an advice, superiors must not eliminate stress, but keep it only at a healthy and productive level. For most people, stresses such as accountability for quality of work and for some personal financial management have positive effect and they are not signs of weakness. Battling and overcoming them produces a feeling of pride, accomplishment and a positive experience.

A subordinate when receiving insufficient feedback from superiors, or being given inadequate information to complete a task would have a negative reaction on the pressure to accomplish the task. Using enough pressure to improve productivity is a matter of eliminating the negatives.
