This briefing provides an overview of a new non-monetary job quality composite measure developed by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) using the Graduate Outcomes survey.
Over time, we envisage introducing this measure into our official statistics publications to ensure that our outputs continue to remain valuable and relevant to users at a time of increasing interest in job quality.
The general consensus that appears to be emerging in the literature is that job quality relates to those aspects of an individual’s work that influence their wellbeing.
In the UK, the Measuring Job Quality Working Group was assigned the task of deciding what indicators should be used to understand job quality.
