The renew vigour embraced by the current leadership of National Productivity Centre NPC ,Dr Kashim Akor in the last few years geared towards an egalitarian society, were asymmetrical areas of production both in the private and public sector is not compromised and devoid of any encumbrances.
Overtime,before the inception of Dr Akor’s Management in NPC, little or no efforts was adopted to guide against positive perfomance techniques/ indices that will encourage reward system in both public and organised private sectors,even though, government had concieve this idea for over three decades.
This mere lip service in both sectors was no longer in vogue at the same time, not condone by the new wind of change in NPC, and by extension both public and private Organisations.
The lackadaisical attitudes that was becoming a norm, became an uphill task for the NPC to revert to statusquo and the best practices world over, acceptable in the current dispensation in line with it’s mandate .
To forestall the immodest conducts,the need to redirect this unsual behavior in both sectors became sacrosanct and desirable, through enhanced organisational perfomance and improve techniques.
As the hub of productive activities,the NPC without further delay launched a system that will not only improved productivity,but the techniques to be adopted in all ramifications,so as to guarantee an impartial reward system.
The routine awareness on techniques in organisations will address idleness, encourage hardwork, dilligence, commitement and determination to achieve results in various areas.
Aside being the main objectives of ensuring productive society by the NPC,it embarked on from time to time awareness through workshop,talkshops, symposiums, seminars as a grand design to discourage non- productive society in all areas.
This positive developement had improved tremendously the ideas and ideals of turning all areas of our society propagated by the NPC.
Aside the human capital developement,that will inturn improve positive perfomance of organisations and techniques,it is also geared towards a robust socio-economic growth of our society.
Economic and Health emergencies particularly the current wave of recession and COVID-19 world ravaged pandemic, on an emerging economy like that of Nigeria, desire a pride of place for productivity in the polity, so as to embrace a knowledge based economy, as pathway to growth and development.
NPC’s strides will galvanise skills, knowledge, competencies of Nigerians from both sectors to improved Organisational perfomance and results.
Other immediate benefits will also include knowledge and importance of productivity, application of modern tools, techniques for productivity improvement,skills that will continually improve,solve problems, in work places among others.
This was enabled by the crop of high quality and experienced productivity consultants engaged by the NPC and it’s current Management, that will produce a lasting results and productive legacies in organisations in line with the best practices.
