Unipart Way
The Sunday Times has spotlighted the potential billions that could be saved by the wider application of the Unipart Way in both private and public businesses.
Headlined 'Boost your efficiency with a daily huddle', Tommy Stubbington (Sunday Times Economic Correspondent) explains that lagging productivity continues to be Britain’s major issue and how The Unipart Way has improved productivity for Unipart and our clients. The August 2017 article reports:
Britain’s economy could certainly use such help. Growth in productivity — the amount each employee produces in an hour — has slowed to a crawl since the financial crisis, despite the issue being given top priority by former chancellor George Osborne. Britain has also lagged behind competitors: it takes us five days to produce what the Germans manage in four, a statistic quoted by Osborne’s successor, Philip Hammond.
The central premise of the Unipart Way is that the best ideas to boost efficiency come from the employees themselves. Crucially, organisations must have procedures in place to make sure those ideas are heard and acted on.
“It isn’t about making people work harder, but letting people use their knowledge and experience to do things more efficiently” said John Neill.
