This pamphlet was published by the British Productivity Council, established in 1952 as a successor to the Anglo-American Council on Productivity. Its stated function was to introduce more effective management techniques. It established a network of local productivity associations and it had a large budget to produce films, bulletins and pamphlets advocating productivity, 'best practice' and work study techniques. Government grant aid ended in 1973 and it was finally abolished in 1978.

The pamphlet cover shows a work study consultant using a stop-watch to record various tasks. Union suspicions towards the stop-watch and clipboard image of time and motion management consultants was satirised in the British film comedy I'm All Right Jack, 1959.
