The best job in the world? The views of first time NHS chief executives
NHS Confederation, 12 / 06 / 2019
Excerpts from website “Observations of nine new NHS chief executives, with tenures from 18 months to 2.5 years”
“These new chief executives have taken on their roles at a time of significant change within the NHS. In order to deliver the vision of the Long Term Plan, it is widely understood that a different style and approach of leadership will be required throughout the system. This will require a different mindset – and the reflections from the chief executives interviewed for this report indicate how a new generation of leaders are going to approach the task ahead.”
UK Working Lives: A comprehensive survey of job quality for workers across the UK
CIPD
12th June 2019
Excerpt from website: “Since 2018, the CIPD has been measuring job quality in the UK through a comprehensive survey of around 6,000 workers across different sectors. Each year, we’ve asked them a range of questions about the work and jobs they do. The answers help us paint a picture of job quality across seven critical dimensions and guide our recommendations to employees, employers and policy makers. In 2019, we’ve introduced international comparators for each dimension of job quality, and an expanded focus on work-life balance and flexible working arrangements.”
