Background

IES was established in 1969 to be an independent, national centre of expertise on productivity, manpower planning and labour market change. Since that time it has expanded and diversified to become the UK’s leading independent centre for research and evidence-based consultancy in employment, labour market and human resource policy and practice. It is not-for-profit, its activities being funded through research and consultancy commissions, and from its corporate membership programme.

The Institute has grown to around 70 multidisciplinary staff and international associates, and its expertise is available to all organisations through research, consultancy, publications and its website.

Since shortly after its inception, the Institute was based in offices on the University of Sussex campus. In 2008/09 the Institute celebrated its 40th anniversary, and opened a satellite office in London, and in August 2009 moved its main offices to central Brighton.
