PrOPEL Hub Projects
Our ESRC-funded Projects on Management Practice and Employee Engagement.
All of our activity at the PrOPEL Hub is underpinned by a robust evidence base. Our work partly centres around 5 major on-going research projects funded by the ESRC that explore the relationship between workplace practice and productivity. These projects complement one another by considering this important issue from different perspectives according to each research team’s expertise.
