When it comes to the environment, who do you believe: the scientist or the politician? When it comes to law and order, who do you believe: the legal academics or politicians? When it comes to workforce participation for women, who do you believe: the social and economic researchers or politicians? When it comes to positive workplace environments, who do you believe has the answers?

They come up against funding cuts, political ideology, or simply lack of insight from either political or business leaders.
