Elements of the Productivity Ratio. The labor productivity ratio, in its simplest form, looks like this: output/input. Simply divide the amount of output you're getting by the amount of work you're putting into it. This requires you to assign numbers to both input and output so that you get a meaningful figure.
You can measure employee productivity with the labor productivity equation: total output / total input. Letâs say your company generated $80,000 worth of goods or services (output) utilizing 1,500 labor hours (input). To calculate your companyâs labor productivity, you would divide 80,000 by 1,500, which equals 53. This means that your company generates $53 per hour of work. You could also look at labor productivity in terms of individual employee contribution. In this case, instead of using hours as the input, you would use number of employees.
