Is it possible to change working practices so that workers are happier, more productive and absent less often? How can growing numbers of older workers best adapt to working later in life and find new jobs in changing labour markets? What lifelong learning opportunities do adults require in order to thrive in globalised and technologically advanced economy? What are the societal costs of ignoring worker wellbeing? This research is concerned with addressing questions such as these and identifying practical interventions, tools and processes that can protect and enhance the wellbeing of workers, adult learners and those seeking work. Wellbeing comprises many components. In relation to work- and adult learning, wellbeing is formed from multiple factors including: the experience of positive emotions in work and in learning and infrequent experience of negative emotions; job satisfaction; work-life balance; work and learning performance; skills development. Understanding such a diverse concept requires expertise from a range of research areas, including economics, education, law, public health, employment relations and psychology. This project will build upon the wealth of existing research and data to identify what can be done to protect and enhance the wellbeing of workers, adult learners and those seeking work.In the first phase of the research, we will identify nine priority areas for action. To help us identify and refine priorities, we will engage with different user groups through public consultations. We will then address two main issues. 1. We will examine 'what works' for protecting or enhancing aspects of wellbeing. In each priority area, we will begin by identifying, systematically reviewing and evaluating the best possible research in order to identify factors that can protect or improve wellbeing. 2. Then we will examine 'what works for whom and in which circumstances'. We will do this by analysing the best existing data - for example the most comprehensive nationally and inter-nationally representative surveys. We will take the results from our reviews of existing research and examine if some factors promote wellbeing more for some groups (eg. younger workers, workers in service jobs) than for others. We will examine trade-offs and spillovers between different components of wellbeing within or between different groups. For example, do people take on new work that is difficult and stressful in the short-term so that they may acquire skills and have a more interesting job in the longer term? Do organisations that promote work-life balance also promote intergenerational benefits through the educational attainments of workers' children, as workers spend more time helping their children learn through culturally or physically rich activities? By examining what works for whom and in which circumstances, trade-offs and spillovers, we will produce a rigorous assessments of the costs and benefits of specific interventions for a range of groups.The team will be mindful of two major principles. First, 'what works' needs to be actionable by workers, adult learners, those seeking work and those close to them (eg. line managers, educators, careers advisors, job centre staff) - so the research will focus on what can be done 'on the ground'. Second, because wellbeing is comprised of many things, we will seek interventions that offer improvements across a broad range of the elements of wellbeing and a broad range of people. By doing so the results which speak more effectively to policy actors who have to account for the inter-dependencies of specific interventions in the context of heterogeneous users.Throughout the research, the team will engage with the public through extensive use of social and traditional media, public lectures, workshops and talks. This engagement will inform the guidance we offer so that it is heedful of the complexities, obstacles and trade-offs that stakeholders encounter when initiating action.

有没有可能改变工作习惯，让员工更快乐、更有效率、更少缺勤？越来越多的老年工人如何才能最好地适应晚年的工作，并在不断变化的劳动力市场中找到新的工作？成年人需要什么样的终身学习机会才能在全球化和技术先进的经济中茁壮成长？忽视工人福利的社会成本是什么？这项研究关注的是解决诸如此类的问题，并确定可以保护和加强工人，成人学习者和那些寻求工作的人的福祉的实际干预措施，工具和程序。幸福包括许多组成部分。在工作和成人学习方面，福祉由多种因素构成，包括：工作和学习中的积极情绪体验和偶尔的消极情绪体验;工作满意度;工作与生活的平衡;工作和学习表现;技能发展。理解这样一个多样化的概念需要来自一系列研究领域的专业知识，包括经济学，教育，法律，公共卫生，就业关系和心理学。该项目将在现有研究和数据的基础上，确定可以采取哪些措施来保护和改善工人、成年学习者和求职者的福祉。在研究的第一阶段，我们将确定9个优先行动领域。为了帮助我们确定和调整优先事项，我们将通过公众咨询与不同的用户群体接触。然后，我们将讨论两个主要问题。1.我们将研究“什么工作”保护或提高福祉的方面。在每个优先领域，我们将开始通过识别，系统地审查和评估最好的研究，以确定可以保护或改善福祉的因素。2.然后，我们将研究“什么对谁有效，在什么情况下有效”。我们将通过分析现有的最佳数据来做到这一点，例如最全面的国家和国际代表性调查。我们将从我们对现有研究的回顾中得出结果，并研究是否有些因素能更好地促进某些群体的幸福感（例如：年轻工人、服务性工作的工人）的工资高于其他人。我们将研究不同群体内或不同群体之间福祉的不同组成部分之间的权衡和溢出效应。例如，人们是否接受短期内困难和有压力的新工作，以便他们可以获得技能，并在长期内拥有更有趣的工作？促进工作与生活平衡的组织是否也通过工人子女的教育程度促进代际福利，因为工人花更多的时间帮助他们的孩子通过文化或身体丰富的活动学习？通过研究什么对谁有效、在什么情况下有效、权衡取舍和溢出效应，我们将对特定干预措施对一系列群体的成本和收益进行严格评估。首先，“有效的方法”需要由工人、成年学习者、寻找工作的人和与他们亲近的人（例如：各级管理人员、教育工作者、职业顾问、就业中心工作人员）-因此，研究将侧重于“实地”工作。第二，由于福祉是由许多东西组成的，我们将寻求干预措施，以改善福祉的广泛要素和广泛的人群。通过这样做的结果，更有效地发言的政策行为者谁必须考虑到具体的干预措施的相互依赖性，在不同的用户的背景下。在整个研究过程中，该团队将通过广泛使用社会和传统媒体，公共讲座，研讨会和会谈与公众接触。这种参与将为我们提供的指导提供信息，以便它注意到利益攸关方在采取行动时遇到的复杂性、障碍和权衡。
