Recommendations 1. Sheffield City Council, Sheffield City Partnership and Sheffield City Region should align and embed action into their economic strategies to enable and encourage all local employers to recognise their role in providing good work and ensuring that the most disadvantaged in our society are not left behind in their ambitions;
2. Sheffield City Partnership, as part of developing a strategy for an inclusive and sustainable economy, should consider how best to use the resources currently available to the city, to incentivise implementation of the strategy;
3. Sheffield City Partnership should facilitate the public, private and voluntary anchor institutions of Sheffield to develop a collective strategy to secure and progress their contribution to an inclusive economy, underpinned by supportive strategies for each sector.
