What you need to know about being part of the data use and productivity study.
Overview
The data use and productivity study is gathering important evidence to understand the links between digital data use in UK businesses and their overall productivity.

The longitudinal study begins in 2022/23 and participants will be asked if they are willing in future waves of the survey in 2024/25 and 2026/27. It seeks to understand the ways in which businesses use digital data and how this impacts their overall productivity, contributing to productivity gains for the whole economy.
