Productivity is about efficiently converting resources into outcomes, driving success for businesses, individuals, and communities. It involves not just labour but also investments in skills, technology, and organisational knowledge. Higher productivity enhances profitability, market share, and innovation, benefiting both organisations and society.

However, improving productivity is challenging as it requires efficient resource use and future-focused growth through technology and innovation. Achieving boardroom consensus on productivity priorities can be difficult, with different functions—such as HR, operations, and finance—having varying focuses. Effective productivity management involves strategically aligning these different functions to enhance overall organisational performance.
