Dear [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons],
Improving Productivity Through Performance Measures
Productivity of people cannot be improved unless you identify measures of performance for the organization. Thereafter, identify the measures associated with the respective department. The department's productivity further cascades down to the individual level but may not be up to the last level.
Identifying Unproductive Activities
If you wish to improve people's productivity, then identify their unproductive activities. Identify the delays and bottlenecks in the operations. Remove the bottlenecks.
Though you have raised the query on productivity improvement of people, you have not mentioned the business activity of your company. In fact, most of your posts raised in the past are related to service functions of HR, which was one-time personnel management.
Considerations for Manufacturing Organizations
If you are from a manufacturing organization, then you need to understand how the material moves upstream and downstream. The ability to reduce costs associated with the movement of the materials will show how productive they are.
Self-Learning as an Alternative to Training
Your question was primarily on increasing people's productivity without training. In that case, a simple reply is self-learning. However, self-learning requires a lot of willpower. Secondly, what one learns is also important. Otherwise, there could be a mismatch between what your employees learn on their own and the organization's requirements. Therefore, you need someone to guide them. You need a mentor or consultant. But this will come with a price which you may not wish to pay!

Factors Influencing Productivity
Productivity is a complex factor influenced by various elements. Training is, of course, an important factor influencing productivity. However, enthusiasm for the work is also crucial in determining productivity. An employee can be enthusiastic when placed in a role that best suits them. Therefore, it is essential to identify the role that suits them.
The Role of Recognition
Another important factor that influences productivity is recognition. If an employee is given due recognition, their productivity will increase. Eventually, recognition should have a monetary valuation, resulting in salary increments, etc.
Job Security and Productivity
Receiving higher remuneration may not necessarily increase productivity, but an assurance of job security can certainly make a difference.
