Productivity in Alberta
There are many complex definitions of productivity, but what it really comes down to is how efficiently your business or organization uses its resources. By measuring various aspects of your productivity, you can determine how well you convert your resources into high quality goods and services. It’s about leveraging your efforts to get more out of them.
But productivity is not just about producing items at the lowest cost possible. It starts with being realistic about your own productivity challenges and then setting clear goals that all employees can work towards. With the right strategy, you can:
improve efficiency on the production line
adopt smoother administrative and communications procedures
streamline your management processes
implement employee retention strategies
maintain a dynamic work environment that celebrates ingenuity
Most importantly, you can track your results to ensure that you’re meeting your goals. You may be surprised to learn that Alberta is lagging in productivity growth. The province has maintained a high Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but its productivity growth rate over the last 10 years has left Alberta behind the rest of the Canadian provinces, the U.S. and most countries in the European Union.
Alberta can do better. The Government of Alberta has been investigating policies and initiatives to help businesses improve their productivity and global competitiveness. Productivity Alberta is the answer to guiding the province towards greater productivity. We help businesses assess their productivity and find ways to strengthen their productivity in key areas, and we bring together industry leaders, government and organizations to find innovative ways to tackle Alberta’s productivity challenges head on.
Together, we can make Alberta one of the most productive places to do business. And it all starts with you.
