PEPworldwide’s Personal Efficiency Program changes the way people work forever. Practical solutions are applied to improve employees’ working styles, and the resulting productivity gains enable them to achieve more. Employee engagement increases and stress levels decrease.
PEP an investment in productivity growth
The Personal Efficiency Program, known as PEP, is PEPworldwide’s highly acclaimed productivity solution. Fundamentally, it's a set of practical principles designed to streamline work methods and decrease the time taken to complete tasks. By implementing these, PEP increases the productivity of all participants. The cost savings of reduced stress alone are significant - for example, fewer sick days and employee turnover - but the extra efficiency achieved also frees up time to think strategically and helps employees to feel more in control of their roles.
PEP shows people how to do the right things, in less time and with less effort. It is an investment that results in measurable productivity gains for your organisation. Progress is evident almost immediately and is easily evaluated. A diagnostic tool assesses personal efficiency levels both before and after the program to analyse what progress has been made. PEP coaches can therefore ensure that new behaviours and processes are working. On average, each PEP participant achieves personal productivity gains of two hours per day.

PEP’s key point of difference is in the methods used to teach the principles. Participants are provided with one-on-one coaching which is directly applied to the unique context of each individual's role. The customised tools and strategies they are given transform their work habits, resulting in measurable personal productivity boosts. PEP’s approach is modular, delivered in stages over several weeks, so the new positive habits become well-established and create sustainable efficiency increases long-term.
Working harder or longer doesn’t necessarily guarantee productive functioning: although we are trained in the technical aspects of our roles, few of us have been taught efficient work habits. We develop our own routines, but these methods often prove inadequate in the face of increasing workplace demands.
Recent research* has shown that 48.6% of Australians in employment are working over 40 hours per week. While we don’t have the highest levels of overtime globally (Australia is tenth on the list, which is topped by Japan at 76%), these findings highlight a major concern relating to stress levels and work-life balance, supporting the idea that productivity gains could be implemented to improve these statistics.
An additional study** found that 48% of workers are requested to do more work with fewer resources, with 39% having taken on the work of two people due to the economic downturn. In an increasingly technological society, 30% of workers feel the need to stay connected 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so how can they be expected to cope with these increasing employment demands? Worry no longer - PEP can help!
Ideal Personal Efficiency Program (PEP) candidates
PEP is effective no matter what industry or sector you are in. The PEP principles are universal and work whether you are part of a team, or an individual looking to improve productivity.
Maintaining an organisation-wide commitment to our solutions achieves the greatest possible benefits. The most successful PEP clients are eager to invest in their people, with a desire to see measurable and sustainable results relating to their corporate strategy.
Our case studies illustrate the significant personal productivity gains experienced by participants as they become more capable of achieving the tasks that matter most. PEP people have a positive attitude towards their work, with fewer administrative burdens and greater effectiveness in processing large volumes of information. They are motivated and empowered but, most importantly, they know how to work at their productive best.
A Personal Efficiency Program (PEP) is about business-based solutions from a people perspective.The key to PEP’s effectiveness and long-term success
PEP changes forever the way people work, helping them to consistently achieve their most important tasks. The ongoing support provided encourages participants to sustain their new good working habits for the long-term.
PEP offers a unique blend of theoretical concept sessions and practical sessions. Group sessions introduce the overall governing theories and skills, followed by one-on-one sessions at participants’ own workstations, where the principles are adapted to suit each individual’s needs and working style by one of our expert coaches.
Repetition is key to forming new habits. Therefore, PEP involves a process of interval training over the course of several weeks to encourage optimum learning and retention, ensuring that the ideas and behaviours learned will become permanent.
