‘Not only cost cutting’: Surprising reason Aussies bosses are tipped to cut staff

Aussie workers face less occupational safety and weaker wage increases, their intention to dismissal the records of the country.

For workers, a new report of the Australian HR Institute in Grim News shows that more than four employers expect to do excess of work in September.

This is the second highest backup intention recorded according to the survey data of more than 600 senior business decision makers.

Sarah McCANN-Bartlett, CEO of the Australian HR Institute, said that the workers’ skill sets did not meet the needs of the employees.

“In addition, the questionnaire data in this report shows that the roles of employers’ most difficulties are talented processes,” he said.

“For this reason, the increase in the surplus activity reflects not only the cost reduction of employers, but also a number of environmental and workplace changes,” he said.

The economic pressures faced by Australian enterprises have been intensified in recent months, and many companies have been forced to re -evaluate labor requirements in changing market conditions.

The report also found that the expectations of wage increase in July 12 months fell from 3.3 percent to 2.9 percent in the last quarter.

However, only 14 percent of the employers reported that they plan to apply a payment ice cream in the next quarter.

This would still see that millions of Australia’s wages were stagnant.

Although several businesses will try to laid off, the Australian HR Institute also says there is a leap in the number of businesses that want to add to the labor force.

According to the figures, 69 percent of the organizations say they plan to hire within the next three months.

The third says they have difficulty finding workers at the moment, although they fell from 38 percent in June 2025.

The total average employee turnover containing involuntary and voluntary turnover continues as 15 percent for 12 months by June 30th.

McCann-Bartlett said, “Despite the softer economic growth, the demand for qualified workers is strong.”

“However, the responsibility of raising skills is not only related to employers.”

Mrs. McCann-Bartlett, those who want to enter the labor force can think of rising, he said.

“There are many free or low -cost online courses that can help to consider expert training and help to distinguish them from the crowd,” he said.

“Being proactive, curious and open to change and learning will support them in the workplace.”
