Low productivity costs the British economy billions
Article Abstract:
The study of Proudfoot Consulting shows that the low productivity that is costing the United Kingdom's economy [pounds sterling]87 billion annually is affecting the United Kingdom's international competitiveness, that the banking and finance industry are the worst offenders. The United Kingdom's productive levels are compared to the United States, Germany and France. Insufficient management planning, lack of communication, inadequate control and supervision of British workers and their low working morale are the factors for low productivity, which are examined.
