Productivity hacked in 3 Steps

The UK has a well-known productivity problem, productivity levels of the bottom 50% of workers has remained stagnant since 1998 where firms have ‘not benefited from the diffusion of technology and innovation’(The Productivity Institute, 2024). 

Companies must take a strategic approach to efficiency that not only uncovers the hidden potential within their workforce but also lays the groundwork for releasing investment that can drive growth.

Businesses need to identify productivity bottlenecks at all levels of the work force. This requires a methodical, granular review of processes to identify overlaps and parallel activity that can be consolidated. Workforce management and tasking tracking technology should be adopted to provide a higher degree of visibility and extend spans of control and remove unnecessary management layers. Company policies then need to adopt a strategic position that is responsive to diverting resources to where they are needed.
