Productivity is a critical aspect of any company. If you look at labor statistics, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it shows that there's been a constant drop in productivity from employees since the mid 2000s. That's why companies are so concerned about this issue. Hiring managers are well aware of this too.

Many experts are debating whether technology has caused this productivity to decline. At this point, the jury is still out. Hiring managers will hone in on this question and dig deep into your productivity, and the role you play in recommending technology to your company as a productivity improvement solution. Explain what types of technology you recommended and if it was implemented. If so, talk about how it has helped the company become more productive, or if there were other benefits as a result of your recommendation, like increased sales, reduced waste, better data insights, etc. Hiring managers love to hear this stuff.
