The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) published results from the second wave of the adult social care workforce survey assessing the work-related quality of life and wellbeing of the sector.
More than three-quarters of workers in the UK are happy in their current job, with 34% strongly agreeing that they are, according to new research conducted by MORI on behalf of Randstad.
Many parents who are employed when they become single parents are not able to balance work and home life in the way they would like, according to research by the MORI Social Research Institute.
MORI Social Research Institute conducted The 2002/03 Childcare & Early Years Workforce Survey on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills. The Survey tracks changes in the workforce since 2001 among different kinds of provision in the childcare sector and collects baseline data for the early years sector for the first time.
MORI's new report — commissioned by IDeA — is now available. The report reviews council staff satisfaction in relation to CPA-ratings. It indicates that employees working for CPA-rated 'excellent' and 'good' authorities seem the most satisfied. A logical conclusion maybe, but the survey uncovers several underlying reasons why this is the case.
New research by MORI for Microsoft has shown that eight in 10 GB workers (79%) reject the traditional blue collar/white collar job descriptions, preferring to define themselves by specialist skills and job functions instead.
Age is the largest determinant of whether a person is likely to be ill-treated in the workplace, according to new research from MORI. The survey — Diversity Matters — conducted for The Guardian and TMP Worldwide, shows nearly a quarter (23%) of British employees claim to have fallen victim to discrimination, bullying or harassment at work. This rises to 37% of older workers (over 55s). Ill treatment because of age is higher than that due to gender, race or sexuality, and is marginally higher than that because of disability.
A third of British workers who attend meetings on a regular basis (33%) think the fewer meetings they have to attend the better, according to research conducted by MORI for National Meetings Week (6–10 October 2003).
