As a recent UK report showed, approaches to employee relations and leadership directly affect company performance. The research, by the Work Foundation, showed that top performers had good communication and shared knowledge with the whole workforce, as well as trade unions. They ensured processes were simple and relevant.

Poor performers tended to have a bureaucratic and hierarchical culture, with leaders more concerned with financial metrics than staff.
