Working Lives Scotland 2025
Working Lives Scotland is the CIPD’s annual benchmark on job quality in Scotland. For our sixth report, we surveyed over 1,000 workers from different sectors and occupations about key aspects of their work and employment. The resulting data and analysis offer evidence-based insights for people professionals, employers and policy-makers to improve work and working lives.
Working Lives Scotland reframes the CIPD's seven dimensions of 'good work' to align with the five dimensions of 'fair work' specific to the framework set up by the Fair Work Convention in Scotland. These five dimensions are:
- Respect
- Security
- Opportunity
- Fufilment
- Effective voice.
