Since the onset of the 2007-08 financial crisis, labour productivity growth in the United Kingdom has been weak. SMEs account for 60% of the total employment and 50% of the turnover of the UK private sector. Nearly 30% of businesses reported investing in new product development and R&D. The survey found that of the businesses that invested in the preceding three years, around 60% invested in IT, and around 50% invested in new plant and machinery and staff training.
