The Work Foundation

The Work Foundation [1] is a Lancaster University-based not-for-profit that addresses what ‘good work’ means – a concept covering the importance of productivity and skills needs, the consequences of technological innovation, and of good working practices. It does this through rigorous research programmes, and provides analysis, evaluation, policy advice and knowledge in and beyond the UK [2]. Its Health at Work Policy Unit (launched in 2014) provides evidence-based policy recommendations and commentary on contemporary issues around health, wellbeing and work, through ‘white papers’ that provide practical policy recommendations, influencing political debate, and as a repository for good practice and evidence-based solutions [3]. The Foundation also works on a range of projects including European and global policy initiatives, such as the Fit for Work programme that promotes early intervention practices that support job retention and return to work for people with musculoskeletal disorders [4].
