This comprehensive study provides a perceptive portrait of
workplace employment relations in Britain and France using
comparable data from two large-scale surveys: the British Workplace
Employment Relations Survey (WERS) and the French Enquete Relations
Professionnelles et Negociations d'Entreprise (REPONSE). These
extensive linked employer-employee surveys provide
nationally-representative data on private sector employment
relations in all but the smallest workplaces, and offer a unique
opportunity to compare and contrast workplace employment relations
under two very different employment regimes. An insightful read for
all academics and students of employment, the findings also have
implications for practitioners and policy-makers keen to identify
and promote "best practice".
Based on the primary analysis of the 2004 Workplace Employment
Relations Survey (WERS 2004), this is the fifth book in the series
which began in 1980, and which is considered to be one of the most
authoritative sources of information on employment relations in
Great Britain. Interviews were conducted with managers and employee
representatives in over 3,000 workplaces, and over 20,000 employees
returned a self-completion questionnaire. This survey links the
views from these three parties, providing a truly integrated
picture of employment relations. This book provides a descriptive
mapping of employment relations, examining the principal features
of the structures, practices and outcomes of workplace employment
relations. The reader can explore differences according to the
characteristics of the workplace and organization, including
workplace size, industrial sector and ownership. Current debates
are examined in detail, including an assessment of the impact of
the Labour Government's programme of employment relations reform. A
key reference from a respected and important institution, this book
is a valuable 'sourcebook' for students, academics and
practitioners in the fields of employee relations, human resource
management, organizational behaviour and sociology. Visit the

Have configurations of labour-management practices become embedded
in the British economy? Did the dramatic decline in trade union
representation in the 1980s continue throughout the 1990s, leaving
more employees without a voice? Were the vestiges of union
organization at the workplace a hollow shell? These and other
contemporary issues of employee relations are addressed in this
report. The book reports the results from the series of workplace
surveys conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry, the
Economic and Social Research Council, The Advisory Conciliation and
Arbitration Service, and the Policy Studies Institute. Its focus is
on change, captured by gathering together the enormous bank of data
from all four of the large-scale and highly respected surveys, and
plotting trends from 1980 to 1999. In addition, a special panel of
workplaces, surveyed in both 1990 and 1998, reveals the complex
processes of change.;Comprehensive in scope, the results are
statistically reliable and reveal the nature and extent of change
in all bar the smallest British workplaces.

The last twenty-five years have seen the world of work transformed
in Britain. Manufacturing and nationalized industries contracted
and private services expanded. Employment became more diverse.
Trade union membership collapsed. Collective bargaining disappeared
from much of the private sector, as did strikes. This was
accompanied by the rise of human resource management and new
employment practices. The law, once largely absent, increasingly
became a dominant influence. The experience of work has become more
pressured. The Evolution of the Modern Workplace, first published
in 2009, provides an authoritative account and analysis of these
changes and their consequences. Its main source is the five
Workplace Employment Relations Surveys that were conducted at
roughly five-year intervals between 1980 and 2004. Drawing on this
unique source of data, a team of internationally renowned scholars
show how the world of the workplace has changed, and why it has
changed, for both workers and employers.
