Work and wellbeing: Findings from the Skills and Employment Survey 2024

Join us for the launch of the Skills and Employment Survey 2024, the latest in a long-running survey series tracking how work and wellbeing have changed in Britain over the last 40 years.

Chaired by Kate Bell (TUC), this event will present key findings on four critical issues:

• Workplace Abuse – How common is it, and who is affected?
• Worker Participation – Are employees gaining or losing voice at work?
• Trade Unions – Is union influence growing or declining?
• Meaningful Work – What makes work fulfilling, and for whom?

This event is particularly valuable for those working to improve job quality and worker involvement, offering insights into the evolving nature of work and its implications for policy and practice.
