In 2007, 26% of the working age population in Sunderland was economically inactive. Livework – a service design company – used ethnography to unpick the real story of people’s multi-stage journey back to the workplace and to design a suite of services that supported them through it. In its initial phase Make It Work supported more than 1000 people, with 238 of these finding work, generating early savings of approximately £255k for the council.
This was one of the top ten projects featured in our radical efficiency report. To find out more go to: http://www.innovationunit.org/radicalefficiency to find out more.
