5️⃣ Tips to Drive Greater Productivity in the Lab: Part 4 of 5 #4: Eliminate productivity crashers💥 Unfortunately, some lab manager actions tend to have a negative effect on lab productivity. These productivity crashers can defeat otherwise healthy approaches to improving the lab’s outputs. Some of the key issues revolve around building the wrong metrics. For example, metrics that are disconnected from the business of the lab can result in effort expended in poor directions, or metrics that can be gamed by lab staff result in perceived progress without actual benefits. Another issue is around communication. Staff can be wary of lab management making measurements if they don’t understand how those measures will be used, which can result in reduced trust and engagement. Stay tuned for tip #5! #Productivity #Metrics #Communication

5️⃣ Tips to Drive Greater Productivity in the Lab: Part 3 of 5 #3: Leadership actions 💭 Adopting a growth mindset that enables learning and development of both individuals and the larger organization is another key action lab managers can take to improve lab productivity. Exhibiting a growth mindset helps the lab face challenges constructively and run effective experiments to improve the working environment. Lab managers can also think strategically. Improving productivity is usually a long game that benefits from a series of connected and aligned changes. Too much focus on the day-to-day tactics will result more in a yoyo effect and will be hard for staff to remain connected to the improvement goals.

5️⃣ Tips to Drive Greater Productivity in the Lab: Part 2 of 5 #2: Organizational improvements 📈 Increasing productivity is broader than simply improving the technical approaches to bench science. Organizational changes can enable lab staff to be more effective in their roles. Lab managers can reduce organizational burdens on lab staff by reducing bureaucracy, removing obstacles, barriers, and irritants. Help people spend more time doing science and less time on ineffective administrative overhead. In addition, lab managers can improve the morale of lab staff by ensuring that people are in the right roles, communicating an effective purpose for the lab, and investing the time and energy required to raise employee engagement.
