No more room for poor work ethic

A recently released World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Competitiveness Report shows that an improvement in work ethic helped Botswana rise in the 2016 global competitiveness rankings suggesting that government efforts to boost productivity are starting to bear fruit. Botswana’s poor work ethic score was this year registered at 16.2% dropping from 19% last year.

This, together with other factors, helped Botswana rise in the overall competitiveness rankings to position 64 out of 138 countries from 71 out of 140 countries in 2015.  For this achievement, we applaud every Motswana who has played their part in trying to improve their attitude towards work. Recognition is also in order to the Botswana National Productivity Centre (BNPC), the government organ that has been spearheading a campaign to improve work ethic both within the public and the private sectors.
