To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what she is doing to promote among all companies the common characteristics shared by what she considers the best managed workplaces in the UK. [52015]

Alan Johnson

We recognise the importance of good people strategies as key drivers of productivity improvement.

That is why my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State recently announced a £20 million package of support to champion best practice in work organisation, which will:

  • expand the Partnership Fund
  • extend the reach of the Industry Forum activity
  • enhance the Fit for the Future Best Practice Campaign
  • support the "100 best companies to work for" list.
