The Proudfoot Global Productivity Report is published by Proudfoot Consulting, designer of workplace productivity programs. The report measures global productivity for the business community. In 2008, the company consulted 1,275 managers in 12 countries and eight sectors. The results found that Canada is not a leader in productivity. Jon Wylie, Proudfoot’s managing director in Canada, says the poor productivity indicators are a result of low levels of relevant staff training, slow speed of decision-making and problems with internal communications. On a more positive note, the Proudfoot report says that the stage is set to allow Canadian companies to seize new opportunities for productivity gains.
