Witness
Tuesday 4 December in Committee Room 4A, Palace of Westminster
At 11.40am
- Matthew Percival, Head of Group, employment and employee relations, CBI
Possible questions
Questions the Committee is likely to ask include:
- How the employer/employee relationship has changed in recent decades and whether both sides now expect more flexibility from each other.
- Whether employers are doing enough to provide in-work training to their employees, especially at the beginning of their career.
- How employers can be encouraged to reward employee loyalty given that young people are less likely to move jobs than they have been in the past.
- The extent to which age discrimination is a barrier to longer working lives.
