Be different and buck the Trend
The productivity of UK workers has fallen for the second quarter in a row, official figures indicate. Hourly output fell 0.1% in the April-to-June period, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
This follows a 0.5% decline in the first three months of the year. Economists have warned that the UK’s productivity continues to lag behind its major trading partners such as the US, France and Germany.

Employee benefits and perks offers a way to attract and retain employees, contribute towards improving staff wellbeing and enhance engagement. However, there’re a number of factors to consider when introducing a benefit or benefits package to ensure it’s valued by workers, while also supporting HR practices and aligning it with wider business goals. This is important because it shows them you are invested in not only their overall health, but their future. A solid employee benefits package can help to attract and retain talent, healthier employees means less absence due to sickness, therefore improving productivity.
The acquisition of skilled and dedicated workers will help create a strong foundation for your business. To bring these individuals on board, it helps to have some tangible benefits that differentiate your business from the masses and more importantly, your competitors . Rather than offering the bare minimum, give your employees benefits like paid vacations and holidays, health plans, and retirement plans to make your business more attractive. A survey by McKinsey Quarterly showed that attracting and retaining talent was the biggest reason that companies offered employee benefits. Offering solid benefits also demonstrates that you believe in your company enough to invest in your employees and proves that you’re an established organisation, which can help you acquire A-list talent.
