The Chancellor and other Treasury Ministers regularly meet with a range of businesses to inform policy development on a wide range of topics, including on how to increase productivity.

Details of ministerial and permanent secretary meetings with external organisations on departmental business are published on a quarterly basis and are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-ministers-meetings-hospitality-gifts-and-overseas-travel

On the specific issue of incentivising employees, the Government has asked Matthew Taylor to conduct an independent review of modern employment practices; this will include consideration of how employers can best inform and consult their workers.
