Más mínimo, misma productividad: bomba

TL;DR

Colombia faces a competitiveness issue where working hours are high, but value generated per hour is low compared to OECD averages.
Sustained minimum wage increases, if not matched by productivity gains, can lead to reduced business margins, decreased investment, and increased prices, unemployment, or informality.

To counteract these pressures, companies need to redesign work processes, eliminate inefficiencies, and focus on high-value tasks rather than simply working more hours.
The minimum wage increase highlights underlying business inefficiencies such as excessive meetings, slow structures, unclear roles, and metrics focused on presence over impact.
Businesses must strategically evaluate their real value production per hour, identify outdated processes, and prioritize productivity investments over mere cost administration.
Competitiveness is ultimately achieved by producing better, not by paying less.
