This Evidence Report presents the findings of the UK Employer Perspectives Survey 2010. The Employer Perspectives Survey (EPS) is one of two major employer surveys conducted on a biennial basis by the UK Commission.
The aim of the survey is to provide robust evidence for policy makers regarding employers’ engagement and satisfaction with Government support for recruitment and workforce development. The survey is unique in that it allows for comparisons to be made across the four nation of the UK, where different initiatives are in operation, and it compares employers’ perspectives of services and initiatives across three areas of Government policy: general business support; employment; and skills.
The 2010 survey was conducted between June and August 2010, with 14,390 employers. The sample was designed and weighted to be representative of the UK employer population as a whole. Interviews were conducted with the most senior person at the site with responsibility for human resources. In smaller establishments this was typically the owner or managing director, and in large establishments this was typically the human resources manager.
In addition, all of the 2010 Employer Perspectives Survey data files can be obtained via the UK data archive.
