The Observatory will provide a space to collate evidence, share relevant research and commentary, track datasets, and link to sources of independent information as the debate continues and the terms of the UK’s departure are revealed.
It will build over the following weeks, months and years as events unfold and data surfaces. In addition to content originating from IES, the pages will feature guest blogs and links to external sources.
We hope that the Observatory will stimulate and facilitate debates on key topics, such as the labour market; education and skills; migration (including the impact on the UK’s nursing workforce); the impact on HR; workforce planning and recruitment; employment law; and employee engagement.
These are all areas on which IES is well placed to offer important insights, with almost 50 years’ experience of research in employment issues. We will curate the Brexit Observatory following our core values, providing an evidence-based and independent approach.
Although definitive answers cannot be offered to all questions raised at this very early stage by employees and employers alike, the Brexit Observatory aims to offer a reliable source of information on key areas of concern as the UK moves through this uncharted territory.
Below are some examples of new content we've just shared on the Observatory.
We invite you to visit and explore the conversation so far, at www.employment-studies.co.uk/brexit
