UK – Matthew Taylor rates government response to his review (The Independent)

09 March 2018

Job Tsar Matthew Taylor, the leader of the Taylor Review, an independent review into modern employment practices, rated the government’s response to his review with a four out of ten, reports The Independent. Taylor said the score was partly because the government was “consulting on a whole host of other issues” and added that if those consultations are productive, then the score could go higher. Taylor also said that the government acknowledged there should be limits to flexibility in working arrangements but he added that more needed to be done. “There is a recognition that flexibility has to be balanced with other objectives like social inclusion, social justice and fiscal sustainability. That’s the important moment; that we move away from [the idea that] all flexibility is great and it doesn’t involve any trade-offs.” Theresa May’s response to the Taylor Review was published last month with a new plan called the “Good Work Plan.”
