Background

Productivity growth in Scotland, and across the UK, has been almost flatlining since 2008 and this weak growth places it firmly behind other OECD countries. Strong growth is intrinsically linked to economic growth, increased wages and living standards. In recognition of the importance of progressive business models, workplace innovation and Fair Work as central to Scotland’s approach to creating value and business innovation, the Scottish Government committed to pilot two productivity clubs in the Economic Development Action Plan in 2018. An expansion to include North East Scotland, South of Scotland and Highlands and Islands was then announced in 2020. The objective of the Club is to support businesses who want to improve their own performance and share their advice and experiences to help others do the same. The Productivity Club is delivered by SCDI with funding from Scottish Government.
