Get GM Working Plan: Stakeholder Engagement

Overview

As part of the government’s commitments in the Get Britain Working White Paper, local areas are required to develop a local Get Britain Working Plan to detail how they will take a whole system approach to tackling labour market participation (employment, unemployment and economic inactivity) and progression at work (earnings and job quality) to achieve an 80% employment rate (GM employment rate is currently 70.9%) and grow the economy.

The purpose of the plan is for it to be used by all system partners including Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Local Authorities (LAs), NHS, Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), Voluntary Community Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) and other stakeholders to: develop shared understanding of issues, manage and align current provision, set longer term direction and strategy for future investments targeting participation and wider labour market challenges, identify collective action, and support better integration of services.

As this is a system-wide plan, input from our key stakeholders is vital in both developing the plan and ensuring system-wide buy-in to deliver against the plan.

The survey will ask you questions about information contained in slides that you can access at the bottom of this page under 'related' and are called 'Get GM working slide deck'. We would suggest you open these slides before starting the survey. There is also a secondary slide deck called Get GM working data pack which provides more insights into the current GM labour market.

This survey has been created to capture insights from our partners and stakeholders. It will close on Friday 30th May. Additional engagement activity is being carried out with GM residents.
