Leading a team, whether it consists of 10 employees or 100, is never an easy task.

Team productivity is the number of assigned tasks that team members have completed at the company level. In queue-based roles, such as support, it also refers to the number of conversations or tickets handled in a day.

For many companies, an employee's productivity is equally related to their worth. If an employee is highly productive and consistently contributes to the company's mission, they will progress in their career more swiftly than someone who does not. Hence, productivity benefits the company as well as the employee.
