Productivity SA, will hold an awards ceremony to recognise the winners
of the Western Cape Regional Productivity Awards at an event to be
held on 19 September 2016 in Cape Town at the Table Bay Hotel,
Waterfront.
Through awarding these organisations, which are from the public,
private and emerging sectors, Productivity SA aims to encourage other
organisations to strive to be productive and globally competitive. The
CEO of Productivity SA, Mr. Mothunye Mothiba says as the country's
fight against unemployment intensifies, it is through organisations
like the finalists that unemployment can be tacked head on.
These awards seek to recognise individuals, organisations and
communities for their contributions to building South Africa's
productive capacity. The awards provide a platform to inspire a
competitive and productive South Africa. Productivity improvement is
considered the most effective way of ensuring ongoing competitiveness,
economic growth and, consequently, more wealth for all.
All South Africans (not only workers in the formal sector) are central
to this process. South Africa currently faces major challenges, for
example on how to create employment opportunities, stimulate economic
growth and reduce poverty. If South Africa is to reduce unemployment
and poverty, and increase its economic growth, emphasis should be on
developing productive capacity in all sectors of the economy.
