The Smith Institute wants to raise awareness and provoke debate on job quality and the world of work. This timely report on the parlous state of the UK’s employment relations system is at the heart of that conversation. It follows on from our reports on corporate social responsibility, fair pay, and employee engagement, and presents a challenge to government, employers, workers and trade unions. David Coats not only presents a clear and comprehensive critique of the employment relations regime in the UK, but offers a series of practical policy proposals.
