Recent research from Cognassist highlights a critical issue in the UK's economic stagnation: 67% of employees believe they are less productive than possible. Key barriers identified include poor communication with managers, excessive meetings, and a lack of opportunities for skills development. Additionally, 80% of employees feel their workplace suppresses creativity, while a significant number admit to 'quiet quitting.' CEO Chris Quickfall emphasizes that to improve productivity, businesses must leverage their workforce's cognitive strengths instead of relying on outdated practices that hinder engagement and efficiency.
The UK's productivity problem isn't about employees working harder - it's about businesses working smarter. Our research shows that people want to contribute more, but too often they are held back by outdated ways of working that don't suit their cognition.
Opportunities to boost productivity are being stifled: 80% don't feel their workplace encourages creativity and innovation, and almost two-thirds think productivity would improve if they and colleagues had a better understanding of each other's strengths.
