Citizens Advice recommendations.
Work and a regular income are vital to our sense of security. Yet we have seen rapid change in these areas. The workforce is increasingly diverse and mobile – many more people now work for themselves, via agencies and with hours that vary.
At Citizens Advice we see workers and employers struggling to balance the risks and benefits of this increasingly flexible labour market.
This short report, based on our research and insight, suggests changes in 4 areas to help balance flexibility and security in the interests of both workers and employers: employment legislation and rights, role of government, and employer policy and practice.
