At least 14 percent of employees are actively away from their work, which is why they are not productive.

The world of work has become a very recurrent theme in viral stories on social networks, either to expose bad practices with their employees in some companies, or to also show the other side of workers who are not productive in their jobs. Working hours. It is the story of two employees who were captured by video surveillance cameras doing everything, “except work”, revealing their work “productivity”.

In the human resources sector, labor productivity represents the total volume of production produced per unit of work during a given time reference period. In the same way, labor productivity is an important economic indicator that is closely related to economic growth, competitiveness and the standard of living of an economy.

In Mexico, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)explained that labor productivity has had constant declines in recent months, largely due to a deterioration in economic activities.

Likewise, in the recording you can see how, at one point, the young women realize that there is a camera that was recording them, so they immediately got up and started working.

The recording has generated many Internet users to comment and interact, which is why it registers more than 36 thousand likes.

“They are the ones that do the best, that’s how it is in all jobs, those who do less, scale faster,” says one of the comments.

“It’s worth mothers ten hours of very productive work, and then they want a raise,” says another comment.

“Or they complain that they are made to do something arguing that they have a shitload of work,” says another Internet user.

The recording, without a doubt, generated all kinds of comments, where the vast majority was about the productivity of people in their jobs.

According to Human Resources specialists, productive people have something special that differentiates them from unproductive or scattered people, who continuously spend their working day doing nothing. That is why data from Edenred highlights that 86 percent of companies already have incentive or recognition systems for their employees for their productivity.

But many times the employees who are not productive, are not because they do not feel good in their company, as reflected in the last Gallup studywho reported that only 36 percent are engaged, 51 percent of employees are disengaged from work, and 14 percent are actively disengaged.

This study mentioned that disengaged employees perform their work without full commitment and are not emotionally connected to their work. These workers tend to quit their current job at the first opportunity.

As these kinds of stories have come up many on social media, but not many show bad workers, as an example, the story where Employers are seen empowering their employees with curious and creative practices in this digital world.

In conclusion, this is how social networks have become the window where people share any type of content that generates debate in the face of the digital pulse on issues like this.
