Abstract

Labor productivity is the most important indicator of the effectiveness of any organization. It is determined by the number of products produced / services sold and the labor costs for their production / sale. In conditions when an organization does not have the opportunity to increase volumes, but it is necessary to get rid of losses and increase the efficiency of using workers’ labor, one of the simplest tools for increasing labor productivity is to bring the number to the actual number. Despite the apparent simplicity of this solution, it involves the implementation of well-thought-out actions, an in-depth analysis of the consequences, and an assessment of the effects. The purpose of the study is to study the experience of personnel management as a tool for increasing labor productivity, identify the features and tools for bringing it to reality based on current standards, and form methodological recommendations for organizations using such a solution in their practice. Research methods: analysis and generalization of experience in managing the number of employees using the example of a division of an industrial enterprise. The analysis made it possible to formulate and identify methodological recommendations for managing the number of personnel in the company’s division with the assessment and receipt of the necessary economic effects. The formulated methodological recommendations can be used in the practice of organizing any industry, provided they are adapted to its specifics.
