OVERALL IMPACT (THE RESEARCH EXCELLENCE FRAMEWORK (REF) 2014-21) The Research Excellence Framework (REF) measures the quality of research in universities in the UK. Research by Professor Harvey at Swansea University has analysed managerial responses to the challenges faced by airlines due to 9/11 and the financial crisis of 2007 and their impact on employee relations. The research has raised awareness and increased understanding of the critical importance of positive employee relations in civil aviation. The findings have influenced European Commission Social Dialogue discussions between European representatives of organisations and workers. His research has been funded by the International Labour Organisation: an organisation that brings together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work.
