"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."

Health at Work
Obesity has raced up the political agenda, but is it something employers should also be concerned about? Philippa Lamb asks what, if anything, companies should be doing to improve employees' health.
Also - a new theory which suggests that British bosses should be looking at the problem of absenteeism in a completely different way. In a book called Status Syndrome Professor MMichael Marmot argues that the way people are managed has a direct impact on their health - those who lack autonomy are more likely to become ill than those who have more control over how they work.
Back in the Spring Nice Work followed the progress of a group of business men and women who were all about to set off on perhaps the ultimate personal challenge - walking to the North Pole. Their plan was to make the trek on foot, without the aid of machines or dogs and it was all part of a course designed to improve their leadership and teamwork skills.
When we first spoke to them, they were in training for the big event. Now they're back, Nice Work has been talking to them about how they got on.
