Productivity Improvement through strengthening Management-Labour Cooperation - the Caribbean Experience
The ILO Subregional Office for the Caribbean has been undertaking a Programme for the Promotion of Management-Labour Cooperation (PROMALCO) with funding from the United States Department of Labor.
Through a programme of research, development of practical tools, advocacy and training, PROMALCO has been working with employers, workers and governments to promote the idea of partnerships in the search for increased productivity and competitiveness.
One important element of PROMALCO’s work has been to identify “good practices” and publicize them in the belief that there can be no better basis for the design of appropriate strategies than the real-life experience of other local enterprises. It is to this task that the present publication is devoted.
It seeks to highlight Caribbean practice in partnership at the national, sectoral and enterprise levels. The main conclusion to be drawn from this work is that the cooperative approach promises a credible way to promote productivity improvement in the Caribbean and, indeed, in economies facing similar challenges.
