Business Turnaround & Recovery
Business Turnaround and Recovery is a proven programme, designed to effectively solve business challenges. We use trusted methods to analyse distressed organisations, and take practical steps to successfully revive and restore them to functional, profitable enterprises. Its purpose is to increase overall productivity and improve organisational structures, but most importantly, save and retain jobs. If retrenchment is unavoidable, we actively manage and facilitate the process to reduce its effects on individuals, organisations and the local economy. Initially, the programme focused on reactionary intervention and crisis management of struggling companies.

OUR VALUES
Productivity Enhances Economy
The more productive an economy, the more competitive it will be in international markets. This often results in lower unemployment levels. The same applies to businesses and organisations, i.e. more productive companies generate more income, which can be allocated to future investments, such as job creation.
Productivity is a vital indicator for lucrative investment opportunities, and provides funds for creating new jobs and reorganising individuals within a workforce.
Productivity SA champions productivity in South Africa. Our mandate is to create a more productive nation, and emphasise the importance of productivity and its influence on our employment growth.
What we believe
We endeavour to improve productivity through analysis, advice, monitoring, implementation and evaluation of targeted solutions to develop South Africa into an economic powerhouse ‒ ensuring lower unemployment rates, reduced poverty and a higher standard of living for all. An economy is only as strong as the sum of its parts. Therefore, with our vast experience and a proven track record, we strive to service and improve the productivity of all businesses and organisations.
