Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Labour minister Utoni Nujoma said it\u2019s high time trade unions start instilling a notion of productive mindsets in their members. Speaking yesterday at the launch of the annual productivity awareness raising week, the minister urged trade unions to always remind workers that productivity boosts morale and creates an organisational culture of excellence, resulting in an improved workplace environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs representatives of workers, your responsibility is not only to ensure the protection of the rights of workers, but also to sensitise them on their responsibilities and on the importance of productivity to the economy and the country at large,\u201d said Nujoma. \u201cWhen an organisation is highly productive and successful, incentives like salary increments, bonuses, pension and medical benefits will be made available to the employees. Hence the need to be productive at all times,\u201d said Nujoma.<\/p>\n

Noting that this year\u2019s theme is \u2018Let\u2019s Make Productivity Contagious\u2019, Nujoma said this deliberates on how contagious productivity should become and how all, in various sectors, play a part towards productivity growth, sustainability and innovation.<\/p>\n

Nujoma added that greater productivity benefits all as it leads to better quality of goods and services for customers and ultimately leads to a better quality of life for all citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking about increasing productivity by investing in essential knowledge, skills and abilities or by better combining inputs or embracing advanced technological innovations,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The labour minister further stated that improving the country\u2019s productivity level is the engine for economic growth and an instrument of inclusivity that enables a country to prosper. This, he said, could help prop up a crippled domestic economy beset by high unemployment, poverty, high inflation, inequality and a spout of high crime rates.<\/p>\n
