We influence and campaign on the issues that affect us all in the UK:
- Supporting labour market participation.
- Skills development and reform of the Apprenticeship Levy.
- Equality, diversity and inclusion, and wellbeing at work.
We do it because we believe work can – and should – be good for everyone. And because the evidence shows that good work benefits people, organisations, economies and societies.

Keeping the spotlight on good work
We’ve been championing better work and working lives for over 100 years. We do it because it’s right. And because we continue to learn that organisations, economies and societies thrive when we put people first.
