Organizational Development: Its Role in Efficiency and Productivity

Becoming an increasingly influential field of practice in private companies and public service is organizational development.  It is a holistic approach of implementing planned, systemic changes in the principles, values, and beliefs of everyone in the organization to drive growth and efficiency.
By applying organizational development strategies, the company can experience the following benefits amid an ever-changing market, industry, and technology:
 
Increased communication
Organizational development can improve communication and interaction among everyone in the company, which consequently aligns their own values and habits with the corporate vision and goals.  Candid communication, which promotes camaraderie and productivity among team members, can also be fostered.

 Employee development
One of the results of organizational development is a conducive environment where employees can perform to the best of their abilities, and without wasting much resources.  This is achieved through the creation of learning, training, and skills enhancement programs and improvement of work processes.
  Continuous improvement
Engaging in organizational development entails a commitment to a continuous cycle of improvement towards more efficient and effective processes.  Quality control measures and change management programs are implemented to comply consistently with company standards.
