For the Review, we emphasised steering workplace technologies towards supporting wellbeing and good work - firms need processes of reflective technology adoption that are human-centred, right from design and development, through to deployment. Read about this in our Pissarides Review final report:

Our research shows that technology can have significant and divergent impacts on people's experiences of work. Working remotely can be great for wellbeing, but other technologies – such as surveillance tech and algorithmic management systems – are related to increased stress and anxiety.

The #FutureOfWork is still being written. Let's make sure it's a people-centred future, one that creates and sustains good work, and supports everyone in society to flourish through technological transformation. Happy Halloween!

This report shows that better work outcomes are possible, citing the 'creation of new jobs, augmentation of human skills and improvement in work quality' as positive impacts of high-involvement HR philosophies. These can 'unlock a positive attitude to tech adoption and the perceived benefits of AI'.

Deploying our cutting-edge research, we are able to work with firms to deploy AI approaches that are human-centred and evidence-based - and lead to better outcomes for both productivity and people. If you're interested in working with us, please do get in touch here:

Along with @cipd.bsky.social and @innovateuk.bsky.social, we're working to understand how organisational strategy, HR departments, and people development programmes can contribute to responsible and successful AI implementation.

In the forthcoming Stage 2 report with, we combine that research with findings from extensive interviews with careers guidance professionals and firms, reporting on hugely encouraging results from our reflective workshop pilot. Subscribe to our newsletter to hear first about publication:

In Stage 1 of this work, we spent time listening to young people talk about their motivations and thoughts on technology, helping us to better understand how motivation can be better directed towards future work - and thus help prevent AI and automation from entrenching existing inequalities.

There has been a great deal of focus on ‘external’ inputs to reduce NEET numbers - our pioneering research also shows the importance of ‘internal’ factors. Autonomy-supportive practices foster intrinsic motivation, supporting the development of human-centred skills needed in this new world of work.

The report, based on a survey of over 400 literary creatives, considers the importance of investing in skills pipelines, strengthening copyright law, and increasing industry transparency, to support positive social, literary and social outcomes for novelists, the novel and the creative industries.

Workers in the creative industries are experiencing fundamental changes to their work and lives through increased GenAI use. Published in November, Dr @clemicollett.bsky.social's upcoming report on GenAI and the novel highlights the need to celebrate and sustain the UK's creative industries.

The report points to challenges for the creative industries that arise through AI usage, criticising an 'opt-out' rights reservation model. The survey data reveals that 10% of creative workers believe AI will have positive impacts on their industries, while 59% are anticipating negative impacts.

Today, we're in Southampton to support leaders and unions as they dig into how work is impacting local economic, technological, social and health outcomes. Please do join us this evening for presentations on the Good Work Monitor and a collaborative discussion on the future of (good) work.

Through our Good Work Monitor, we track access to good work across all 203 local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. As with Cornwall below, we also offer support to all regions in producing spotlight reports to surface local challenges and opportunities for improving access to good work.
