Minister of Labour Pearnel Charles Jr. has said increased productivity will help Jamaica improve its global competitiveness.
He urged the country not to accept mediocrity but to work harder to compete with the best in the world.
"If you're competing on a global market, on a global scale, you can't just be concerned with how the person beside you is working, and so if they are mediocre and you're a little bit above them, you're okay. No, we are concerned with what's taking place in Australia, Canada, India, China, everywhere because Jamaica Productivity Centre wants to drive Jamaica towards its maximum potential. We don't want to just be floating," Mr. Charles declared.
Tamar Nelson, Chief Technical Director of the Jamaica Productivity Centre, suggested measurable strategies must also be employed to increase productivity.
"The value of our outputs needs to increase more than that of our inputs. In other words, we seek a sustainable environment to make more investments drive outputs and we want to ensure that dollar for dollar those investments can yield more and more outputs," she said.
