The Fair Treatment at Work Survey is Britain's first large-scale official survey of employees' experience of unfair treatment, perceived discrimination, bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace. The survey was commissioned by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) which in June 2009 merged with the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) to form the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The new survey combines two earlier surveys; the Employment Rights at Work Survey, 2005 (ERWS) (not available from the UKDA) and the Fair Treatment at Work Pilot Survey, 2005-2006 (available from the UKDA under SN 6203).
