Conclusion
New technology has the potential to enhance employees’ experience of work; for example, by allowing for greater use of remote working and replacing more mundane tasks. However, there is also a risk that technology could have an adverse impact on workers’ rights and wellbeing. The strategy we have recommended should also set out how the Government will safeguard employees’ rights and wellbeing and ensure that available jobs are of good quality.

DWP already works with other government departments who have responsibility for key sectors, including DCMS and BEIS. This work identifies how government can unlock opportunities in these sectors through skills provision, employment support and careers advice services. For example, DWP has close working relationships with DCMS to identify and map digital jobs and skills demand. There are also clear linkups with DfE and BEIS to consider how the Government can provide tailored, targeted support that links directly to jobs and ensure that jobseekers are able to access this support.
