Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Statement of Strategy: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Mr. Declan Hughes:

We certainly see management skills as critically important. We have a strong target of 2.5% per annum for increasing productivity in the indigenous enterprise sector. We recognise that central to that increase is ensuring leaders across companies have the all the skills she has mentioned and are keeping up to date with those skills. It works well in the agricultural sector.
