Pay Awards (runs throughout the year)

Equal Opportunities Policies
Robust policies on equal opportunities can enhance organisational performance – as well as helping avoid potentially costly tribunal claims. The aim of this research is to provide benchmarking information on equal opportunities policies and to assess how they can most effectively be implemented.

Job Board Functions
There are hundreds of job boards available to employers to advertise new vacancies. But how effective are they? Do they offer employers value for money, or do they just generate more work by presenting unsuitable candidates? Our latest research is exploring all of these topics. We want to find the top performers - as told by you - and this survey should help us to identify what job boards are best at, and what they are not so good at.
