JAKARTA - Minister of Manpower Yassierli invites the business world and industry to collaborate in an effort to increase national labor productivity.

According to him, collaboration is the key to strengthening ecosystems and human resource capacity (HR) in order to be able to compete at the regional and global levels.

"We invite ladies and gentlemen to prepare their ecosystems and human resources. Next year, the intervention will continue to increase their productivity in the context of their supporters such as productivity podcasts and productivity pocket books," Yassierli said in an official statement, Monday, November 10.

Yassierli mengakui tantangan besar yang dihadapi Indonesia saat ini adalah rendahnya tingkat produktivitas tenaga kerja dibandingkan dengan rata-rata negara ASEAN.

Based on the latest data, of the total 153 million workforces, around 39 percent work in the formal sector, 56 percent in the informal sector, and 4 percent are still unemployed.

The strategy for increasing productivity in the formal and informal sectors is certainly different. But one of the main strategies is through skilling, reskilling, and upskilling," he said.

Yassierli explained that increased productivity can be carried out systematically through the Product, Process, People, and Policy (4P) approach.

Furthermore, Yassierli said, with the modalities owned by the Ministry of Manpower, such as 34 Center Work Training Centers (BLK), 286 regional BLKs, and 4,000 Community BLKs, interventions to increase HR capacity can be carried out offline and online.

"We have big capital to support the improvement of competence, skill awareness, and knowledge of workers," he said.

In addition, the Ministry of Manpower has also opened a space for cooperation with the business and industrial worlds that already have best practices as well as community of practice in increasing productivity.

"We believe that Indonesia's gold can be achieved, we believe that with collaboration we can both build the Indonesian industry, increase Indonesia's productivity in the future," he said.

Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Vocational and Productivity Training (Binalavotas) of the Ministry of Manpower, Agung Nur Rohmad, explained that the 2025 National Productivity Improvement Week (P3N) is an annual initiative aimed at encouraging increased work productivity in all sectors, both government and private sectors.

"P3N aims, among other things, to increase insight into the latest productivity strategies and techniques; and expand professional networks with fellow participants and experts in productivity," he said.
