Background
The background is that productivity in Australia has stagnated. It is contended that a cause has been the lack of skills improvement in the workforce, caused by a decline in training investment by organisations.
Our research hypothesis is that organisations have a low perceived value of training qualifications.
What is Productivity?
Productivity in Australia has either remained stagnant or declined in many sectors over the last decade.
Productivity is in simple terms how effectively does an organisation use its resources to make something (or supply a service) the market is prepared to buy.
Ie if what you supply (product or service) costs to much relative it’s perceived value by the market – your not doing well. And that is what has happened to Australia over the last decade. A key component of productivity is skill, the ability to apply more value for less effort. The basis of raising skills is training.
