A report by the In-work Progression Commission identifies barriers faced by those in low pay looking to progress and sets out key actions to remove these barriers. Recommendations include that employers should adopt a five-point progression checklist (which includes individualised progression and learning plan, mentoring, flexibility, shadowing and work experience, and supporting professional development), develop transparent progression pathways, monitor progress and embed support for progression into management practice. Evidence was detailed from employers such as Whitbread PLC, McDonald’s and Marks and Spencer.
