Research 

There are a variety of reasons why organisations seek an external agency to undertake research on their behalf.  At ADAPT we have experience at carrying out a wide range of studies from examining the impact of restructuring on the health of workers to providing an analysis on the impact of climate change on skills and competencies.  The research we carry out is always done with the close co-operation of the commissioning organisation and can be contextualised and adapted for different audiences, for example politicians and policy makers, academics, employers, unions or the general reader.  As we co-operate with a number of European research institutions we are able to call upon their expertise if and when required.  Everything we produce is done so to the highest quality and very often to very tight deadlines.
