From cpaaustralia.com.au: Business leaders prioritising productivity may inadvertently hinder innovation within their organisations, as focusing solely on output can lead to employee dissatisfaction and creativity constraints.

Research indicates a significant decline in employee perception of innovation, largely due to a greater emphasis on cost reduction and increased reliance on AI for productivity.

Effective leadership that values employee engagement and encourages creative thinking is essential for fostering an environment where both productivity and innovation can thrive together.
