productivity increase

Getting more done

A productivity increase is a gain in output relative to input—more work accomplished with the same resources, or the same work with fewer.

The phrase appears constantly in business and economics: The new software led to a 15% productivity increase.

Often used to justify investments in technology, training, or process changes.
