Thursday, October 13, 2022

NEW CANAAN, Conn., Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Formulating a positive strategy for sustainable productivity is one of the greatest challenges facing today's manufacturers. In fact, the numbers can be sobering. According to an August 9, 2022, Reuters report, "U.S. worker productivity in the second quarter fell at its steepest pace on an annual basis since 1948 when the Labor Department began tracking it, while growth in unit labor costs accelerated, suggesting strong wage pressures, will continue to help keep inflation elevated. Nonfarm productivity, which measures hourly output per worker, fell at a 2.5% pace from a year ago. It also declined sharply in the second quarter at a 4.6% annualized rate."

Key Points: 
  • Further complicating the path to accelerated performance and productivity has been the ascendancy of Environmental Social and Governance (ESG).
  • More and more, I'm having conversations with business executives about value creation, sustainable profitability, and the impact of ESG.
  • Founded by John Abplanalp, a longtime avid fly fisherman with a love of all things nautical, the Tight Lines Advisors LLC name accurately reflects his unique methodology.
