"Presenting Nice Work is fascinating because of the wide range of stories you hear, and the people you get to meet. Not only do we cover the big picture trends and theories, we get up close to the real experience of work, from the people who actually do it.
Over the next six weeks we'll be looking at the pros and cons of work experience; investigative claims that Britain is fast becoming a nation of malingerers and updating you on disability issues. We'll also be looking into the spiritual side of working life and finding out about the help available for people who want to return to work after a lengthy career break."

Creativity in the workplace
Creativity is the new buzz word in organisations. It's being seen as the way to get ahead and mark yourself out from your competitors. But this current trend has gone way beyond the traditional creative industries such as advertising - it's now spread across all sectors from heavy industry to GPs' surgeries.
Philippa Lamb asks why this has become so important and how it's being applied to workforces across the country.
This week's Nice Work examines different approaches - from bringing in creative people from the arts world (as they've done at the consumer goods giant Unilever) to changing the way they work on the shop floor (at Weir, a pump manufacturer).
And Philippa is given a tour of the creative offices of the design consultants Ideo.
