Stephen Smith, CEO of EMB Ltd, the leading enterprise and
economic development company that delivers a range of business
improvement services, including local access to the regional
Business Link service is urging local businesses to make sure
employees know the postcode of their place of work so that the
Office for National Statistics can record it on their 2011 Census
questionnaires in March.
Stephen Smith comments "Knowing their workplace postcode is a
key piece of information that feeds into the overall picture of
life in England and Wales.
Details of where people live, where they work and how they
travel to their place of employment provide important statistics
for transport planning and other strategic decisions.
The address and postcode of the employer is one of a number of
questions contained in the census questionnaire about jobs, place
of work, hours of employment and methods of travel to work.
Answers to these questions help to build a profile of the
economy and provide the foundation for other labour market and
economic statistics".
