Frank Bannister and Dan Remenyi Trinity College, Dublin Frank.Bannister@tcd.ie Dan.Remenyi@tcd.ie Abstract: While the productivity paradox has now been officially pronounced dead, the argument and the evidence for this assertion are both at a macroeconomic level.

Brent is required to increase the productivity of two teams; one is team two while the other is team nine. Both teams are faced with a plethora of problems all of which are hampering the productivity of the teams and therefore making it hard for them to reap the desired results for the organization.

Throughout this essay, I would like to critically examine the essence and worth of an employee in any business firm. An employee is any other human being who works for his or her employer in order to earn a living and satisfy his personal wants. Black’s law dictionary defines an employee “as a person who works in the service of another person under an express or contract of hire, under which the employer has the right to control the details of work performance.” An employee is regarded as a firm’s
