High performance working: A synthesis of key literature

This Evidence Report synthesises the key recent research evidence on the theme of High-Performance Working (HPW), setting out clearly the current state of knowledge on the topic, and identifying research gaps and policy questions. The report is one of the first outputs from the UK Commission’s Skills Utilisation project, complementing a fuller literature review conducted by Scottish Government. It will be followed in the coming months by other reports from this major project, which is looking at how the use of the HPW approach can help to ensure skills are better used in UK workplaces. We hope you find this report useful and informative in building the evidence we need to achieve a more prosperous and inclusive society.
