Employment confidence at highest level since recession
Our summer Labour Market Outlook (LMO) survey report - produced in partnership with SuccessFactors, an SAP company - shows that for the sixth quarter in a row, employers expect jobs growth; and the net employment balance is at its highest since the recession in 2008. But, employers don't expect wage growth to accelerate significantly. And, with more employers looking to hire, pressure mounts to attract the right talent. Read the LMO and get guidance on workforce planning to meet future skills requirements at our Annual Conference.
Look out next week for the second report in our series Entrepreneurs: What can we learn from them? The subject of the new report, and of this week's poll, is female entrepreneurs. What more do you think the Government could do to encourage more women to take the leap to become entrepreneurs? Vote in our poll.
Last week's popular poll on retirement age returned some interesting results. Thirty-seven per cent of voters say that the average age of voluntary retirement from full-time employment will increase to between 68 and 69-years-old over the next decade. This was closely followed by 30% who think the age will be between 70 and 71 and 22% who think it will be between 66 and 67. That leaves the remaining 11% voting for the age rising to 72 and above.
