Employer Perspectives Survey

Thank you for considering participating in this important research.

The Employer Perspectives Survey is being conducted on behalf of the Scottish Government. The project is being conducted by IFF Research, an independent market research organisation.

The survey aims to help the Scottish Government and other organisations to help employers like you, by better understanding your needs in terms of skills, training and employment. Your co-operation will ensure that the views expressed are representative of all employers in your sector.

Participation in the survey will involve a telephone interview with an IFF interviewer lasting around 20 minutes at a time that is convenient for you and we hope very much that you are able to take part.

For further information regarding the survey, please see the Scottish Government's website: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-employer-perspectives-survey-2021

If you have any queries concerning the format or content of the interview, please contact Malina Cojocaru or Aminul Hassan at IFF Research via e-mail: ScottishEPS2021@iffresearch.com. If you would like to speak to somebody at the Scottish Government for more information on the aims and objectives of the survey, you can contact Gillian Dalrymple on Gillian.Dalrymple@gov.scot.

Under data protection law you will have the right to a copy of your data, change your data, or withdraw from the research at any point.
