Employee attitude is paramount in enhancing productivity and it was essential to motivate them to contribute more with the available infrastructure and resources, said R.Rajamanohar, Executive Director, BHEL, Tiruchi, here on Thursday.

Speaking at the valediction of Productivity Week observation, he said all valid suggestions from employees must be documented and effort must be taken to implement them.
