Acas South Wales Update

Dear Colleague,

How can we solve the Productivity Puzzle?

The UK workforce produces less per hour than our main economic competitors and whilst a range of solutions have been offered by Government, these can only yield lasting improvements if workplaces are operating at their best.

The part played by managers and the role and involvement of employees can help deliver better outcomes for individuals, organistions and the economy.

Over the last few years, Acas has increased its efforts in helping in this area and have developed guidance and tools to help you understand your organisation's strengths and weaknesses and to identify simple practical steps you can take to improve.

5 ways Acas can help in understanding and increasing productivity:

- Event: Making your organisation more productive: A practical course in Chepstow and Cardiff

- Online Productivity Tool: Complete the questions for each lever of our Productivity Tool and we'll produce a free report giving guidance where needed.

- Watch our YouTube video to gain some insight from industry experts and leaders on how you can make changes in your workplace

- Free online guidance

- Contact us for a free visit to discuss tailor-made support.

Kind regards,

Gareth Petty
