FAST FACTS
Just over 40 years ago, mankind's dogged determination to evolve, improve its wellbeing and quench its thirst for knowledge saw the first human being land on the moon. What at some stage seemed improbable became a reality beyond the belief of many. It was during this period which signified mankind ‘s tenacity that in South Africa the National Productivity Institute (NPI) was formed. Although not an organisation dabbling in the space sciences, the then NPI (now known as Productivity SA) was borne out of the same driving desire to reach new heights and traverse hitherto unexplored productivity vistas. Productivity SA is a Schedule 3A Public Entity and its governance board comprises of representatives from labour, government and business. Productivity SA's mandate is primarily to enhance the productive capacity of South Africa by meeting the following objectives: Promote a culture of productivity in workplaces; Develop relevant productivity competencies; Facilitate and evaluate productivity improvement and competitiveness in workplaces; Maintain a database of productivity and competitiveness systems and publicising these systems; Undertake productivity-related research; Support initiatives aimed at preventing job losses. Our vision is to lead and inspire a competitive and productive South Africa.

Our core organisational values are: Service excellence through the implementation of relevant solutions; Market leadership through creative and innovative solutions; Working together as a team to achieve common goals; Partner with stakeholders pursuing solutions to South Africa’s productivity challenge; Honesty, integrity and professionalism are the cornerstone of all our actions.
