An annual benchmark of job quality in the UK, providing data and evidence-based insight on how to improve work and working lives
The CIPD Good Work Index is an annual benchmark of job quality in the UK. Each year, we survey more than 5,000 workers from different sectors and occupations about key aspects of their work and employment. The resulting data and our analysis provide evidence-based insights for people professionals, employers and policy-makers.
The report gives an overview of how employees view aspects of their work and what factors most influence whether their experience is positive or negative. Crucially, it highlights significant associations between those factors and outcomes such as reported performance, engagement, discretionary effort, health and intention to quit.
While based on UK data, the findings, their implications and the recommendations for work and people practices should be of relevant interest wherever you are based. Download the full report
