Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak assessed the results of the first year of the "Labor Productivity" federal project. It is part of the "Efficient and Competitive Economy" national project and aims to improve the efficiency of both business and the social sector.
"Over a thousand companies have joined the federal productivity project in 2025. More than 21,000 employees have been trained in productivity-enhancing tools. The implementation of lean manufacturing principles helps businesses restructure logistics, optimize equipment utilization, and reduce downtime. Experts from the federal competence center and the network of regional centers provide support. This year, they expanded to the DPR and Kurgan Oblast, covering 62 regions. By 2030, RCCs will be established in four more regions of the country," noted Alexander Novak.
At the President's direction, the federal project is intended to cover 40% of medium and large enterprises in key non-resource sectors of the economy and all state and municipal social sector organizations. To this end, 15 out-of-the-box solutions and over 100 best practices for increasing labor productivity have been developed for cultural and leisure organizations, sports organizations, public libraries, social services organizations, and general and higher education institutions. Projects to improve labor productivity have already been completed in 3,600 social sector institutions.
To systematically improve labor productivity, industry competence centers and specialized programs are being established within ministries.
"Eight such OCCs have been established in the real sector of the economy, and six in the social sector. Sixteen sectoral programs have been developed. These programs are designed to identify productivity priorities, generate demand for lean manufacturing tools, develop proposals for removing administrative barriers, and adjust support measures to stimulate productivity growth. They are currently being finalized to create version 2.0," said Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov.
The federal project "Labor Productivity" is a continuation of the national project of the same name, which ran from 2018 to 2024. During this time, more than 6,000 enterprises received support from the federal competence center and the network of regional centers and increased their profits by 484 billion rubles. To participate in the project, enterprises in non-resource industries simply submit an application on the "Productivity.rf" platform.
