The Decent Work and Productivity Research Centre comprises a multi-disciplinary group of researchers in Human Resource Management (HRM), Business Psychology, Leadership and Management, Work and Equalities, Employment Relations and Social Policy. Guided by our vision “to identify what causes - and who has - decent and productive work, and what can be done to shape a bright future for the world of work”, we attract funding from prestigious funders to support our research activities. This research has been translated into an excellent track-record of real-world impact, for example our highly rated REF 2021 impact case study on changing employment and practice in adult social care, our regular engagement with parliamentary committees and government departments, and close partnership working with a wide range of policy and practice organisations who share our commitment to decent and productive work.
Our researchers have expertise working across health and well-being, active labour market policy, employee voice and entrepreneurship. Our current work includes projects focused on understanding improving conditions in social care, addressing the under-representation of ethnic minority employees in social housing leadership positions, supporting women’s health at work, and engaging with employers and supporting progression through Universal Credit.
Our Centre predominantly focusses on making a real-world impact on the following themes:
