National Productivity Council (NPC)

The reconstituted National Productivity Council (NPC) was given the mandate to the promotion of increased productivity and quality awareness. It is expected that this will lend to new values and bring about changes in both attitudes and behaviour patterns in the areas of productivity, quality and competitiveness.  These new policies will assist Government on the formulation of national guidelines, strategies on all aspects of productivity, quality and competitiveness in addition to developing and adopting key indicators of productivity for Trinidad and Tobago. 

The newly appointed National Productivity Council received their Instruments of Appointment from Senator the Honourable Jennifer Baptiste-Primus, Minister of Labour and Small Enterprise Development at the Ministry’s Head Office on Wednesday May 10, 2017.
