Productivity: panic or panacea?
Tuesday, 29 May, 2018
Behind the Headlines investigates the UK’s productivity crisis: what it actually means, why it’s an important aspect to understand, what it means for wages and international competitiveness, and what the potential solutions might be to reignite our growth. Tom Thackray (Director for Innovation and Digital Policy at the Confederation of Business Industry), Craig Beaumont (Head of External Affairs at the Federation of Small Business), and Rebecca Burn-Callander (freelance journalist for the Daily Telegraph, and previously its Enterprise and Business Club Editor), join Eulogy CEO Lis Field to discuss the true value of productivity as a barometer of economic health, and whether businesses can claw back the ‘lost decade’ following the 2008 recession. Listen in as our experts explore how small changes – be it to the tax regime, to payment terms for small business, or to the education structure and its widening skills gap – can combine to create a real and immediate impact.
