Question

The large business shown in the Snapshot above has 127 employees, 19 of whom are managers or supervisors; its reduced productivity is 19 ÷ 127 = 14.9%. Consider a “Super-Large Business” that’s larger than the business shown above. It has 270 workers, 30 supervisors, 10 line managers, 5 division managers, 2 executive managers, and one CEO.
Assuming the same conditions as the large, small, and mid-sized businesses, what is the reduced productivity for this Super-Large Business? Round your numbers to the nearest tenth, and express as a percentage.
%

Answer 1

The total workforce will be calculated as -

Total workforce = (Workers + Supervisors + Liner managers + Division managers + Executive managers + CEO)

Total workforce = (270 + 30 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 1)

Total workforce = 318

Reduced Productivity =( Number of Supervisors )/( Total workforce) X 100

Reduced Productivity = 48/318 X 100

Reduced Productivity = 15.1 %
