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.
Measure nonmanufacturing productivity in dollars instead of units. For example, imagine a salesperson makes $150 per day and sells $1,000 worth of goods or services in a day. Your output figure is 1,000, and your input figure is 150. Divide output by input. 1,000 divided by 150 equals 6.66.
