Productivity
For generations, the UK economy has seemingly been held back by sluggish productivity levels that lag behind our global neighbours.
We know what needs to change: skills & management capability, AI adoption and digital transformation. But this takes government and devolved administrations working with businesses, from the ground up to ensure that workforce issues are front and centre on the agenda.
The Employment Rights Act has been billed as nothing short of a once in a generation change to industrial relations, impacting every business, of every size and sector across the UK. It is our role at the British Chambers of Commerce to ensure its impact is manageable.

delivering growth:
upskilling the workforce
Improving productivity is central to delivering stronger economic growth,and skills are one of the most important levers businesses have to achieve it.
When firms can access and develop the right skills, they are better able to adopt new technology, improve management capability, innovate, export and compete.
New British Chambers of Commerce survey data shows that 67% of firms say better access to skilled employees would support growth in their organisation.
This briefing sets out how government can help unlock that opportunity by making it easier and more worthwhile for firms to invest in their existing workforce.
