2016 Employer Perspectives Survey Underway
Work has begun on gathering information for annual 2016 Employer Perspectives Survey (EPS16).
The survey invites views on subjects such as recruitment, skills initiatives and training, and is carried out via 18,000 telephone interviews with UK employers across all sectors and sizes.
The aim of the survey is to collect employer views on methods of recruitment, skills initiatives and training currently on offer in the UK, and decisions to use them, or not.
The information is used to inform national, regional and sector decisions about where and how to invest in the skills system to ensure it can meet the needs of businesses.
Research for the survey is being carried out between May and August 2016 by IFF Research on behalf of
• Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland
• UKCES
• Department for Business Innovation and Skills
• Welsh Government
• Scottish Government
The success of the survey is dependent on the willingness of employers to take part.
