In a unique webinar, business, labour and government will come together to find ways to improve productivity in the clothing manufacturing industry. The entity tasked with promoting productivity and employment growth in South Africa, Productivity SA, the National Bargaining Council for the Clothing Manufacturing Industry (NBCCMI)’s Productivity and Training Institute (PTI) will host a knowledge sharing session conducted in the form of a webinar that will bring union members and business owners together in a bid to improve industry productivity and sustainability.

The webinar is organised through Productivity SA’s business Turnaround and Recovery Programme (BT&R) which is aimed at preventing job losses, in this instance focusing on the backdrop of Covid-19 business distress and the recent unrest which affected several sector businesses.

The BT&R programme implements turnaround strategies to support distressed companies facing operational difficulties which may result in them contemplating retrenchments. The programme is funded by the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF)
