They don't call it the human resources department for no reason...
If you look at cities/modern civilization, it's really no different from an industrial farm. People who run industrial farms are focused on the production of the livestock - aka the productive value of each head of cattle, each chicken, etc. People who run cities are focused on the production of every head of human.
Notice the uptick in "How do I get more productive", "I've had a productive day today", etc? Doesn't it seem like it's all about productivity? Are you meeting your potential - have you been as productive as you could be today?
