The COVID-19 pandemic intensifies the UK’s existing productivity challenges. It will affect the scope to mobilise human capital, and drive innovation and digital transformation. And it will accentuate the many dimensions of disparity and inequality between firms, sectors, geographies and individuals.
However, this major dislocation also presents an opportunity for innovative practices and policy interventions that can shape a future based on a broad understanding of national progress. In this webinar we discuss how COVID-19 is impacting productivity today, and how government, business and workforce needs to adapt in order to drive productivity during the recovery.
