People are at the heart of productivity improvement.
Endeavours like innovation, culture, engagement, customer service, and leadership all rely on human input. This makes having the right people in the right roles central to solving the productivity problem in the UK, especially as productivity slows, unemployment rises, and job vacancies decline.
The UK Productivity guidance has been developed in collaboration with the Better Hiring Institute, Engage for Success, Nottingham Business School, University of Liverpool, and Workstyle Revolution. This guide explores the direct link between hiring and the UK’s productivity challenges, identifying the risks and opportunities involved. It highlights emerging approaches to faster, fairer, and safer recruitment that can unlock significant economic growth.
Developed with key partners, this work details practical strategies that align with wider efforts to build a more productive UK.
