worker productivity

Labor output rate

Worker productivity measures output per unit of labor—how much a worker produces in a given time.

Economists track it as an indicator of economic health and efficiency.

At the individual level, worker productivity often becomes a management concern: Her worker productivity has declined since the reorganization.

The term can feel clinical, reducing human effort to measurable units.
