Redefining workforce productivity: Is it possible?

Can we redefine the word “productivity”? In addition to the host Chris, fellow LACErs Tim Ringo and Chris Horton are also on hand to provide their perspectives. We recently launched a campaign called “Redefining workforce productivity.” As part of the campaign, we challenged the notion of productivity as a dated term and examined how organisations can redefine the concept.

We recently hosted an event, which was based on Tim’s book called “The Productivity Puzzle”. The book explores the downward pressure on GDP due to declining people productivity. As a reflection on the event, in this podcast we will discuss some of the key takeaways. The discussions around this topic emphasised the importance of finding solutions to maintain living standards and make a positive impact on society. 

Is there a potential impact on productivity from a four-day workweek? Could it be implemented into industries we thought were unsuitable? Listen to this podcast to get an insight into how you can redefine workforce productivity in your organisations and find innovative approaches to adapt to the changing world of work.
