UK: The Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices and corporate governance

The Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices - titled Good Work - was published today: see here (pdf). The Review adopted this ambition: that all work in the UK economy should be fair, decent and capable of providing realistic scope for development and fulfillment. The best way to achieve better work, according to the Report, is not through national regulation but through "responsible corporate governance, good management and strong employment relations within the organisation". Among the recommendations made in the Report, and directed at the Government, is one requiring companies to be much more transparent about their workforce structure.
