How We Make A Difference

The Work Foundation is one of the key influencers on the world of work and the shape of organisations. At a time when the country desperately needs more jobs, it is vital that it does not lose sight of the objective that these should also be better jobs within more effective organisations. That is why, as we deal with a recession and look forward to a recovery, it is my pleasure to be its chairman.

What we do

The Work Foundation analyses, advises and influences around the areas of economic change, how to create high performing Good Work organisations and to improve the quality of working life. 

Our Mission is Good Work for all

Who we aim to reach

We aim to reach leaders, policymakers, opinion formers and individuals. 

How we make an impact

Our independence gives us a strong platform for engagement across the political spectrum and ensures neutral ground for those who choose to engage with us. We make an impact through:

Our applied research - ranges from consortium research programmes, commissioned research projects to emergent thinking.

• Our advisory consulting – equips organisations with the tools to become Good Work organisations.

• Our policy work – includes labour market commentary, policy recommendations, opinion pieces and party conference events programmes.

• Our partnering opportunities – encompass clients, sponsors, partnersalumni and specialised networks such as the Ideopolis Leadership Network and the Creative Economy Network.

Our messages are disseminated through our publications, media work and wide-ranging events, which provoke fresh-thinking, debate and action.
