Sustainability in the labour field on a farm in the Nord-East Region of Romania is a valuable subject having a significant impact on the performance and long-term development of the agricultural enterprise. The efficiency of using the available resources is known as productivity or effectiveness. The efficiency measurement can be attained through several methods, however two of them are most frequently utilised for performance evaluation. The first method, the physical productivity computed by measuring the natural performance of production indicators and is expressed in natural or conventional units; the second method, the performance is measured in terms of value, allowing to evaluate efficiency in terms of financial-monetary terms and is utilised in the modern management of enterprises. In this paper, the main objectives include identifying the optimization directions of workforce performance for S.C. Treter S.R.L., evaluation level and labour productivity evaluations, available resources analysis for improving labour productivity and review of economic consequences of the changes traced in the workforce productivity field. In the period 2019-2023, S.C. Treter S.R.L. increased the number of employees from 12 to 17, this expansion was the result of the company's development policy, oriented towards the acquisition of additional land and expansion of operational capacities, and the evaluation of work efficiency shows an increase in annual return from 218,526 lei/employee in 2019 to 229,363 lei/employee in 2023. In terms of commercial labour efficiency, it peaked in 2022 at 233,199 lei/employee and the analysis of daily and hourly efficiency showed fluctuations, with the highest productivity level in 2022 and the lowest in 2021, thus highlighting the variable impact of agricultural production and number of employees on the company's performance. The study showed that S.C. Treter S.R.L. had a steady increase in the number of employees and improved efficiency in the use of human resources, indicating a well-founded expansion strategy, thus the positive developments in work efficiency underline the importance of continued investment in technological progress and employee skills development. These measures are essential for maintaining and improving productivity and adapting to fluctuating economic conditions, and increasing work efficiency has a direct impact on the volume of output and the time taken to produce it, thus highlighting the essential role of effective human resource management in organisational success.
