存量经济时代，降本增效是企业的主旋律。 然而，我也发现，大部分企业在做的时候，却没有什么成体系的方法论，都不约而同地陷入一个误区： 分不清主次和重点，常常是捡了芝麻，丢了西瓜。 比如，有的公司为了省电费，四根灯管减掉两根，天再热空调也不开了； 有的公司加班不报销餐费了，厕所卫生纸也不提供了，打印还限制纸张； 还有的公司为了削减开支，辞退了一个月几千块钱的保洁阿姨，让公司各个部门轮流打扫卫生。 请问，这些是降本增效么？除了把员工得罪光了，能给公司省几个钱，提升多少效率呢？ 降本增效，一定要真降本，真增效。 卫哲说，企业要抓到自己的第一效率指标，一个最简单的方法，是从公司的财务上看，开支最大或者占 用资金最多的，就是公司应该树立的第一效率指标。 比如，像阿里巴巴、京东、小红书等绝大部分互联网公司，由于工程师的人数多，而且薪资高，开支最 大的是人力资源。 那么，人效就是它们的第一效率指标。 以阿里巴巴为例，当年B2B业务设定的效率指标是每年人均创造100万营收，淘宝定的是每年人均创造1 亿的GMV（商品交易总额），支付宝定的是每年人均创造10亿支付额。这些指标都是人效。 之所以定人效，就是因为阿里巴巴开支最大的就是 ...
