Hays, the recruitment experts have published a major survey on trends in industry regarding the business activity for the year ahead. The survey found that despite ongoing economic and political uncertainty, the employers are optimistic about their business activity for the next 2 to 5 years, but are already citing skills shortage as a threat to future growth.
Employers have responded to the skills shortage challenges by increasing salaries by 1.9% this year. However, competitive salary is no longer enough on its own to attract staff. While salary remains the top motivator of employee movement, professionals are also willing to move for career progression opportunities and a better work-life balance.
