Business secretary John Hutton has announced a review to find new ways to boost employee engagement in British businesses.

The Review of Employee Engagement and Investment will make recommendations to address employers’ failures to get the most out of staff. ‘The most successful companies recognise that their employees are their most valuable asset,’ says Hutton. ‘We need to better understand what drives some businesses to engage with their workforce and invest in their people more than others and look at how we can urge others to do the same.’

The review will begin early in 2009.
