The event in detail
Employers are committed to improving the quality of jobs in the UK but lack guidance about how to achieve it. This was one of the key findings from a report recently published by The Work Foundation. Poor quality of jobs was seen as being part of an underlying explanation for many persistent workforce issues they faced including sickness absence, retention, poor motivation levels and difficulties hiring the right people.
In this event our expert panel and audience will debate the path of improving productivity through job quality and crucially explore where the good jobs agenda fits with employee engagement as a root to improved performance.
