The dataset contains survey data collected from 3665 employees and managers in 30 medium or large-sized businesses in the UK, 126 transcripts from interviews with members of senior management (CEO, HR Director, Operations Director). Data was collected between 2020 and 2022 although case studies were generally completed within a few months. Case studies were selected through purposive sampling influenced by firm size and sectoral levels of productivity performance. The content of the interview data and productivity data contains commercially sensitive information throughout and cannot be shared publicly in accordance with the ESRC’s ethical approval. Redacted transcripts and productivity forms are considered unusable.

The UK Data Archive has granted a dissemination embargo. The embargo will end on 21 March 2026 and the data will then be available in accordance with the access level selected.
