When we are talking about someone being good/fast at completing their work, we would describe them as an efficient worker. This means they are well-organised and can complete tasks in good time and well.
The opposite of slow is fast. However in this case, the appropriate word to use will be efficient. If someone is efficient at work it means that they do their work thoroughly without wasting time and money.
Example sentence:
"She is a very efficient worker."
"slow"(遅い)の反対は"fast"(早い)です。しかしこの場合、適した単語は"efficient"(効率がよい)でしょう。誰かが仕事において"efficient"というのは「時間やお金を無駄にせずに完璧に仕事をこなす」という意味があります。
"She is a very efficient worker."
(彼女は非常に効率のよい働き手だ。)
He is a really speedy worker, most of us cannot keep up...
Speedy conjures up the right images in the mind...Fast Quick Swift etc...Hoever speedy has a little more Zing!
"He is a really speedy worker, most of us cannot keep up..."
「speedy」はピッタリのイメージです...「Fast」「Quick」「Swift」などもあります...ただ「speedy」にはよりスピード感があります。
"He is a really speedy worker, most of us cannot keep up..."
(彼はものすごく仕事が早い、誰も付いていけない...)
The opposite of slow is 'fast' or 'quick' so if someone is doing something 'fast' or 'quick' then they are doing it at a speed more than normal
For this 'efficient' would be a better word you would say 'they are very efficient at their work/job' meaning they do it quickly and well
slow'の反意語は、'fast'又は'quick'です。'fast'又は'quick'は、普通よりも速いスピードで物事をこなすことを表します。
この場合は、'efficient'を使ったほうがいいと思います。
例えば：
'They are very efficient at their work/job'
〔訳〕彼らは仕事をとても効率よくこなす（仕事を早くきちんとこなすことを表します）
「早い」は英語で「fast」や「quick」といいます。「効率的」と言いたい場合、「efficient」という言い方を使えます。
You work so quickly! You work so efficiently!
（あなたは仕事が早いね！）
※副詞の場合、quicklyやefficientlyになります。
He eats really quickly.
（彼は食べるのがとても早い。）
Don’t drink your beer so fast. You’ll get drunk!
（ビールをそんなに早く飲まないで。酔っぱらっちゃうよ。）
早いはquickとfastといいます。
彼が早い
He is fast
He is quick
時間の流れが早いですね
Time goes so quickly
Time goes so fast
足が早いからあなたとレースしたくない
You can run fast so I dont want to race with you
Efficient in this case doesn't just mean speed, but also the level of quality at which the worker operates.
But, if we just want to express that someone is a fast worker, we can say
-he is fast/she is fast
-he is quick/she is quick
-he/she is a quick worker
-they will get the job done quickly
I hope this helps, thanks for reading!

例文：He is really quick at finishing his work
仕事を終わらせるのが早い
その他の表現：
例文：He's so efficient!
彼はすごく効率がいい。
「efficient」は効率的、つまり早いと言う意味になります。
例文：I would definitely recommend him, he gets the job done quickly.
彼は絶対お勧め！仕事がすごく早い。
「gets the job done quickly」は仕事を早いと言う意味ですが、直訳は仕事を終わらせるのが早いとなります。
