Let’s start talking: rebooting the partnership agenda between government, unions and employers

There has been much discussion about the wide-ranging reforms to working lives embodied in Labour’s New Deal for working people.

Unlocking the full potential of the UK workforce

It is critical in these rapidly changing and uncertain times, that by investing in their workforce, businesses can build resilience and adaptability and promote sustainable growth. By doing so, we can unlock the full potential of the UK workforce, driving both economic and social progress. However, this responsibility does not rest solely on the shoulders of organisations. Policymakers must also prioritise strategies that foster a culture of engagement and empower employees to thrive.
