  • Die Work Foundation ist eine britische gemeinnützige Stiftung mit Sitz in London. Die Stiftung berät die britische Wirtschaft sowie staatliche und Nichtregierungsorganisationen mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung der wirtschaftlichen Leistung, der Qualität des Arbeitslebens und der Optimierung der Lebensqualität. Mehr als 400 Organisationen gehören als „Partner“ der Stiftung an. Leiter des Think Tank mit 60 Mitarbeitern ist seit 2000 Will Hutton. Die Anfänge der Stiftung lassen sich auf die am 3. April 1918 von Robert Hyde gegründete The Boys' Welfare Association zurückführen. 1919 änderte man den Namen in The Industrial Welfare Society. Durch die Präsidentschaft von Prinz Albert, dem späteren König des Vereinigten Königreiches Georg VI., in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren geriet die Organisation in das öffentliche Interesse. Im Jahre 1965 wurde der Name verkürzt zu The Industrial Society. Seit 2002 firmiert sie unter der Bezeichnung The Work Foundation; Schirmherr war seit 1954 Prinz Philip. (de)
  • The Work Foundation is a British not-for-profit organisation and independent authority providing advice, consultancy and research on the future of work, improving the quality of working life, leadership, economic and organisational effectiveness. The foundation works with government, business organisations, the public sector, and not-for-profit institutions. It operates with opinion formers, policy makers and partner organisations through forums and networks, consultations and publications. It was founded in 1918 as the Boys Welfare Association later becoming the Industrial Society. In 2002 it was renamed the Work Foundation, shifting its business model away from being a training organisation towards being a research, consultancy and policy think tank under the leadership of former Observer Editor Will Hutton. Its reports on various aspects of the labour market are often cited by the media. Ian Brinkley has replaced Stephen Bevan in the new position of director. In 2008 Stephen Bevan replaced Hutton as managing director, with Hutton becoming executive vice-chair. The Work Foundation was acquired in October 2010 by Lancaster University following a winding up petition in the High Court. Hutton was criticised for his handling of the Foundation by a number of publications including The Sunday Times and Private Eye. (en)
