This research investigated the potential role of trade unions in contributing to better skills utilisation in workplaces in Scotland. The report presents findings from three case studies in which management, unions and employees have worked together to improve the development and deployment of workers' skills to address business or organisational needs. The initiatives were investigated at different stages of development in order to highlight the challenges that emerge as skills utilisation interventions progress. The report raises awareness of the potential of skills utilisation initiatives to help employers to enhance performance, improve recruitment, selection, retention and progression, improve innovation and extend employee engagement.
