THE PROCESS OF WORKFORCE POLARISATION: OCCUPATION‐BASED WELFARE AND EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION

Abstract

This article ties together two aspects of employment relations which have significant implications for the phenomenon of polarisation: participation by employees in company decision making and the development of occupational welfare — more specifically occupational pension schemes as a prime example of such welfare. After briefly reviewing the relevance of each independently and generally, they will be considered conjointly, focusing on the company level and presenting evidence from recent empirical research on employee participation in the management of pension schemes.
