Theme: The UK Productivity Puzzle – is employment relations the missing piece?

Recently published data by the Office for National Statistics has established that output per hour in the UK was 17 percentage points below the average for the rest of the major G7 industrialised economies in 2013, the widest productivity gap since 1992. On an output per worker basis, UK productivity was 19 percentage points below the average for the rest of the G7 in 2013. (ONS, International Comparisons of Productivity, 17th October 2014).

According to one major authority Sisson (2014) it’s difficult to exaggerate the importance of productivity. It is productivity that is the source of a society’s wealth and prosperity. It is productivity that accounts for differences in living standards over time and between countries, reflecting the skills of the workforce, the capabilities of organisations and the technology they use accounts for the differences in living standards. Productivity also has a crucial bearing on company or organisational performance.

Although a live issue, poor productivity has dogged the UK for decades. For many years economists have been looking at the UK productivity angle. Perhaps, however, they have missed the most obvious and most tangible dimension – the workplace. Indeed, compelling evidence for focusing on employment relations at the workplace can be found in a number of influential studies. Reports of the work of the Involvement and Participation Association (IPA), Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Services (ACAS), the more recent Engage for Success Movement and new research published by Dromey (2014) and Sisson (2014) provide a strong body of evidence between improved productivity and workplace management approaches.
