A focus on productivity is vital for any forward-thinking business wanting to make the most of its resources, maintain and raise profits, and ensure its future health through initiatives such as high-quality recruitment and retention practices that support employee wellbeing.
The global pandemic has brought about unprecedented changes to the way firms operate. Aside from the devastating human health impact of COVID-19, the global economy has been significantly disrupted, forcing the business world to adopt new models and fundamentally changing the way we live and work.
