Certified Productivity Practitioner FUNDED BY WDA! Please read on for funding details. Why is Productivity Important? Singapore businesses and the workforce are gearing up to address productivity challenges that have arisen in the past decade. Key findings from the recently disseminated Report of the Economic Strategies Commeittee highlighted that: | We must shift to achieving GDP growth by expanding productivity rather than the labour force. We must boost productivity in order to stay competitive, upgrade the quality of jobs, and raise our people’s incomes. A slower growing workforce makes it all the more important for every enterprise to innovate to create more value, and to maximise the potential and performance of every worker. | |  |
 | | This shift to productivity-driven growth will require major new investments in the skills, expertise and innovative capabilities of our people and businesses over the next decade.” |
The benefits from higher productivity are wide ranging: | • | | Increase in income / profitability. | | • | | Lowering running costs / operational costs. | | • | | Maximising the use of all of the company’s resources such as land,equipments /machineries, factory / space, workers, and etc. | | • | | Gaining a greater share of the market. | | • | | More cash flows mean more opportunity for the company to expand and grow. |
