Warning Britain is becoming ‘unattractive’ place to hire new staff
According to a sharp warning of recruitment giant Hays, the UK is becoming an increasingly “attractive” environment for businesses who want to rent a variable staff.
The company attributes this change to wage pressure and last tax increases that force companies to discover their automation and offshoring strategies.
Hays, one of the biggest recruitment agencies in Europe, has previously expressed concerns about the weaknesses in the global business market.
However, he emphasized certain challenges that reduce competitiveness as a working place in the UK.
Hays, the President of the United Kingdom and Irish, was detailed on the situation: “Britain is a great place to work, but it becomes more attractive to hire people permanently. Wage pressures and national insurance changes are forcing employers’ automation and offices to explore.”
The agency also recorded an increasing tendency that staff no longer prioritize loyalty to their employers.
The national minimum wage increased in April and increased the wage of many workers, but increased labor costs for employers.
It has overcome many businesses that have to increase national insurance contributions due to the tax changes in the last year’s budget.
Hays said that cost prints pushed companies to think of jobs with “people needed ve and then to digitalizing the rest or directing them to external resources.
Mr. Way also said that the ongoing concerns about the cost of living means that workers are not reluctant to carry jobs and companies to hire.
This extends the time required to fill the empty positions in all sectors that the employer sees as a fundamental indicator of the market.
“Loyalty to your employer is no longer accepted as a valuable feature, and people prefer to offer project -based jobs instead of going to work for five days a week,” he said.
Research by HAYS showed that the UK is behind most of its peers to benefit from labor investments and how adaptable the labor market is to changing business needs.
Hays said that British employers should embrace new labor models that combine permanent, contract and project -based roles and invest in both their people and their digital assets in order to remain competitive.
