Policy Paper: Management Apprenticeships Boost Productivity Tuesday 03 March 2020 Share Share to LinkedIn Share to Facebook Share via email Productivity has flatlined in the UK since the financial crisis. To ensure the UK’s economic prosperity we need to address the productivity gap relative to other G7 countries, and between regions in the UK. Countless studies have demonstrated the link between management practices and productivity.
