Morphology

workwise = work (transparent) = work + wise

Formed by the productive English suffix '-wise' meaning 'with respect to' combined with the common noun 'work', so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Workwise is simply work plus the ending -wise, which means 'in the way of' or 'regarding', as in clockwise or likewise. So, workwise means 'in relation to work'.
