Eight National Screening Committees (NSC) were convened via Zoom on August 26 to evaluate 47 selected MSME-regional nominees of the 2021Productivity Olympics. The nominees from the agribusiness, industry, and service sectors and across employment sizes presented their best practices on business continuity, employee engagement, employment preservation and expansion to the NSCs.

The NSCs are tripartite in composition, each joined by productivity and quality expert. The Productivity Olympics, a biennial event organized by the NWPC, recognizes the best productivity practices of micro, small, and medium enterprises. This year, the search focused on business resiliency amid the pandemic.
