Many factors could affect productivity at work, some tangible KPI metrics, and many intangible factors. The tangibles are often heavily focused on and monitored repeatedly. These tangibles become the anchor for performance measurement and company growth. The Intangibles, however, are often acknowledged, and they become a big part of the aspirational values of any firm but never get enacted. A study by Roger L Martin summarizes that businesses should take care of its people, be it employees or customers, and value maximization takes care of itself. Customers are fluid that they will not stay unless they are taken care of or satisfied. Employees, on the other hand, can become sterile to the culture. The result is the alienation of oneself

(advertently or inadvertently) from the rest of the team. The adverse effect of this behavioral outcome is both on the employee and the company. Emotions are contagious and propagate across the system - and one such employee can inflict a hostile environment just by involuntarily transmitting this emotional disposition.

So what ever happens in or about work tends to have an major effect on people. A lack of social circle in work tends to alienate people and leave then with their own thoughts, and more often people find it hard to step out of distressing thoughts when they are alone. Also they find it hard to control their own thought when a thousand things are happening in front of them and then are alone. Adding to this a change in personal or professional environment also causes stress and affects wellness.

What Can We Do About It

Make Engagements in the workspace Fluid and Dynamic

Anything we do repeatedly for a long time becomes second nature to us. The point is to design the workflow system to maximize engagement and interaction. Keep adding this habit into the feedback loop and it will be adding up into the employee system, they become less of strangers and valued in the workplace.

Any work place will have engagement,, but it is highly possible that this comes from just 20% of the people, in contrast our approach will be to design the workflow to maximize participation and integrate each and everyone of the staff together.
