Taylor review of modern working practices

Industrial strategy supports action plan for good work 1. Develop a national strategy for good

work, with clear measures and Government backing

2. Be clearer about distinguishing workers from self employed

3. The law and how it is enforced should help firms make the right choices and individuals know their rights

4. The best way to achieve better work is responsible corporate governance, good management and strong employment relations

5. Enhance lifelong learning and progression opportunities throughout individuals working lives

6. Develop a more proactive approach to workplace heath

7. Inspire industry-led strategies to own and deliver more good work
