Abstract: Survey tool development processWe also drew on the expert consultations and a review of the literature to consider the most appropriate methods for conducting the survey including its size and scope, the mode of application (face-to-face, postal etc) and who the respondents should be.The report considers a number of options for the UK Commission to evaluate.These include the extension of the WERS survey (which is rejected due to pressures on its existing content), the commissioning of a bespoke survey, and the addition of questions to NESS.The report also stresses the need for complementary case study based research to capture the reasons why managers decide to adopt business strategies which demand deployment of HPW practices and to test out the take up and impact of appropriate kinds of policy support.Such complementary research has been conducted by the UK Commission through its HPW case study project.Along with this, the Policy Review project has examined the policies available to support HPW and identified gaps in policy, anda synthesis paper has presented evidence on the issues surround HPW.Together, these constitute the outputs from the UK Commission's Skills Utilisation project.
