REASONS FOR DEVIATIONS/CHALLENGES Funding received from the UIF in July 2016. Work only commenced from the second quarter. Only a portion of the funding was received which equates to 33 companies for the 2016/17 FY. The APP is measured on 200 companies according to the total budget that should have been transferred. Consideration of impact on companies in distress with the funds received should be noted. Semester targets of 70 Entrepreneurs to join Workplace Challenge Programme were not met, only 90% of target could be achieved due to low economic activity in the country. Implementation of the Monitoring and Evaluation tool has been delayed therefore the reports for the 1st and 2nd quarters are still outstanding. The Productivity Statistics Report for 2016/17 has been delayed due to lack of capability – position of the Chief Economist is vacant and cannot be filled due to lack of funding. SMME target was not completely achieved due to the postponement of planned training by Strategic Partners.

REMEDIAL ACTION An agreement reached with the UIF to ensure timely transfer of funds as per the funding agreement and to enhance Governance and Monitoring on the TAS Project Organisation-Wide resources have been mobilised and dedicated towards delivery and achievement of TAS targets – war room established. The established partnerships between Productivity SA and the CCMA, PIC, SEFA and SEDA will assist in the identification and recruitment of companies facing economic distress to join the programme. The new appointment to assist with the Black Industrialist Programme will be accelerated in the 3rd and 4th Quarters of the financial year. System roll-out has been accelerated by including Change Facilitators in the collection of data. To appoint a part-time economist. SMME training to be planned according to signed-off implementation plan.

IMPACT ANALYSIS Working together as a team to achieve common goals

PRODUCTIVITY UNPACKED It is widely accepted that continuous productivity growth in entities is a significant determinant of sustained output growth and as a consequence can lead to employment creation, higher labour compensation, improvements in living standards and alleviation of poverty and inequality. Productivity entails converting resources (inputs) into products and services (outputs) efficiently, effectively and with optimum utilisation of human capital and physical resources for the benefit of business, society, the economy and the environment. Productivity is a mindset that embraces the value of “doing what I do today better than I did yesterday, and even better tomorrow”.

FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN 2016/17 PRODUCTIVITY SA CONTRIBUTES MAINLY TO OUTCOME 4: MSTF 2014-2019 OUTCOME 4: Decent employment through inclusive growth Programme Improve workers’ education and skills to meet economic needs. This is achieved through conducting productivity training to cooperatives, SMMEs, workers, managers in order to foster continuous productivity improvement in the workplaces thus improving profitability, growth and employment creation. Productivity Organisational Solutions   Reduce workplace conflict and improved collaboration between government, organised business and organised labour through the implementation of the Workplace Challenge Programme. The programme aims at improving productivity and competitiveness of enterprises and sectors through amongst others collaborative relations, implementing processes for continuous improvement, implementing clusters for industrial competitiveness. Workplace Challenge Protect vulnerable workers through the Turnaround Solution Programme that aims at preventing job losses and creating conditions conducive for job retention and creation.

INTERVENTIONS PER PROVINCE

SUMMATIVE ANALYSIS Employment and income growth: According to the Labour Market Survey, the economy has lost 36 483 jobs over the period 2015/16 and Turnaround Solutions assisted with the saving of 6 976 of these jobs. This equates to 19% of the total, which is insignificant given the levels of retrenchment and unemployment. For the period 2016/2017, Productivity SA received R24,4 million to assist companies facing economic distress against a budget of 97,8 million. Productivity SA should be assisting 200 companies facing distress, this however is a small component of the national economic challenges that South Africa is facing. In addition the Workplace Challenge Programme with a total budget of R8,2 million in the second quarter of the current financial year has assisted companies to retain 42 240 jobs. Added to that figure an additional 150 new jobs have been created as a direct result of the Workplace Challenge intervention. This excludes the impact made through the Productivity SA Entrepreneurship Programme if we consider that 2 349 small businesses were trained on productivity improvement interventions during this semester. Workplace Forums / Dialogue: 21 Future Forums have been established to assist in the normalisation of workplace relations through the Turnaround Solutions Programme. The Organisation has also contributed to peaceful workplace relations by establishing 63 plant level committees through the Workplace Challenge Programme within the same semester.

STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUS AND PRIORITY AREAS FOR 2017/18

LOCATING PRODUCTIVITY SA AS AN APEX ORGANISATION WITHIN THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL AGENDA – The Productivity and Competitiveness Movement OUR MANDATE: To promote employment growth and productivity, thus contribute to South Africa’s socio-economic development and economic efficiency. Productivity SA embraces the National Development Plan, Vision 2030, The Medium Term Strategic Framework 2014–2019 and the Industrial Policy Action Plan – as reflected in the following service delivery Key Outcomes: Outcome 4: Decent employment through inclusive growth Outcome 5: A skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth path Outcome 6: An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure Outcome 12: An efficient, effective and development oriented public service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship Section 32 of the Employment Services Act read together with s2(1) (e) and (f), and s7 enjoins Productivity SA to amongst others, develop relevant Productivity and Competitiveness Competencies in workplaces in response to the National Developmental Agenda.

LOCATING PRODUCTIVITY SA AS AN APEX ORGANISATION WITHIN THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL AGENDA – The Productivity and Competitiveness Movement Productivity SA strategic interventions and programmes focus on: (i) promoting employment, growth and workplace productivity; (ii) promoting a culture of productivity in the workplace; and (iii) improving the employment and re-employment prospects of employees facing retrenchments. The primary focus is on programmes in support of entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and the encouragement of the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises. We understand that from an economic perspective, productivity is a wealth-generating process that drives economic growth, and that Productive capacity should reflect the willingness and ability of individuals and organisations to optimise the resources at their disposal in an endeavour to produce goods and services that offer value to the end-user, the customer or the consumer.

PRIORITIES AREAS FOR 2017/18 Refining the Business Model and Strategic Plan to ensure alignment with the National Development Plan - Vision 2030, the Medium Term Strategic Framework 2014 – 2019, and other Government Programmes to improve productivity and competitiveness. Improving the productive and competitive capacity of the national economy and business efficiency through research on socio-economic systems, productivity and economic sectors as well as through the collection and supply of information; Promoting public awareness and dialogue in the workplace to inculcate a culture of productivity and competitiveness in all spheres of the nation’s economic and community life. Strengthen strategic partnerships with the UIF and SOEs to improve the employment and re-employment prospects of employees facing retrenchment or retrenched. Provide support to National Strategic Initiatives and Programmes aimed at achieving sustained levels of inclusive economic growth and decent employment creation, through the following programmes:

EXPECTED ECONOMIC IMPACT Creation of employment Full and gainful employment through productivity improvement initiatives Poverty alleviation Poverty in employment (wage poverty) Reduction of inequality Equitable distribution of the proceeds of productivity gains (wage gap/gain sharing) Improved business and economic efficiency

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS AND AREAS FOR DISCUSSION

RECOMMENDATIONS AND AREAS FOR DISCUSSION Productivity SA’s long term vision is to see productivity being a collective bargaining issue like in all other mature economies such as Germany. Productivity SA should be supported to become a strategic labour market instrument to drive the ILO decent work programme. A well supported Productivity SA should contribute in the attainment of the GDP target of 2,9 as set out in the January 8th statement of the President as well as the NDP objectives.
