It's reassuring to see the very high proportion of frontline staff in the public service and I think the proportion of staff in regions is also a great thing... though there does continue to be some disparity when it comes to the proportion of Senior Executive Service / Senior Officers outside of the south-east corner. I know government is trying to change this with more flexible working conditions but there's still some way to go. #regionalQueensland #Queenslandgovernment #publicservice #Queenslandsregions

It's that time of the week! Here's a round-up of #YouthEmploymentInsights from our Head of Insights Jan Palin: 💼 Job security can reduce regional inequality - The Work Foundation study focuses on the nine Mayoral Combined Authorities and Greater London, where over a third of England’s workforce – 11 million workers – live. Of these workers, 2.2 million (19.4%) are in severely insecure work. - Sectors such as hospitality, accommodation, and food services are more likely than others to see a high prevalence of involuntary part-time and temporary work, with low and unpredictable pay. - Professional and managerial jobs tend to be quite secure, whereas insecure work is often concentrated among self-employed workers and those in routine and semi-routine jobs, such as cashiers, fitness instructors, and salespersons. 🤝 Plans for jobs and employment support - With the expectation that many people would become unemployed following the pandemic, the Government mobilised rapidly to provide historic levels of support to the economy and the labour market. - However, following the pandemic, we have seen a rise in the number of people who are economically inactive, now at 8.78m. - This is why the Government announced a new package of support at Spring Budget aimed at increasing workforce participation, in addition to our existing range of employment support. This includes investment to support disabled people and those with long-term health conditions, parents, over 50s, unemployed people and people on Universal Credit who are working fewer than full-time hours.

An interesting workforce survey undertaken by the Homecare Association. Of the 307 providers that took part in the survey "48% said they cannot meet demand, with 84% citing recruitment difficulties as the primary reason." As we know the implications of understaffing in this sector are huge, so how are organisations trying to address this issue? Beyond changes to government policy, would love to hear your thoughts. https://lnkd.in/ee_Xuac3

This work gets to the heart of the challenge we all have - work has changed. People want flexibility and businesses need it. Our approach to recruitment, retention and regulation all need to reflect that. Businesses are learning fast - as the survey shows. We need any new Government to be just as quick on its feet - answers from 1986 or 1976 are not going to be fit-for-purpose now. Over the summer, we’re going to be doing more to tell the story of flexible workers and why a labour market with a range of contracts is economically vital - but also socially critical.

Good Afternoon LinkedIn 👋 I wanted to share with you today one our What Workers Want report's. In this report we surveyed almost 9,000 professionals to discover what workers over 50 really want from their employer. 😃 The findings showed that whilst the majority of older workers feel similarly to their younger cohorts when it comes to favouring hybrid working and attractive salaries, we’ve observed a potential disconnect between what the general market is saying around what older workers truly want and what our data shows. Our findings highlight certain steps and considerations that organisations can take to attract and retain talented and experienced workers over the age of 50 in their workforce. If you are interested in receiving the report or want to know what the report means for yourself or organisation then please reach out on my contact details below. ☎ 01173746336 📩 [email protected]

🌟 Embracing the Power of Experience! 💪 ✨ There has been a significant surge in the number of workers aged 65 and above in the UK labour market since the turn of the century? The latest data analysis from the Centre for Ageing Better reveals that nearly one million more workers in this age group have joined the workforce, marking a remarkable shift in the professional landscape. 📊👵💼 Today, more than ever, individuals are choosing to work past their 65th birthday, contributing their wisdom, skills, and expertise to the economy. In fact, over one in nine workers in the UK continue to work well into their golden years. This trend is not only about staying active, but it is also a response to economic needs. Older workers are filling labour and skills shortages, playing a crucial role in sustaining the economy. Their contributions are valued and essential in today's workforce dynamics. 💼🌍 However, it's important that we ensure the quality of employment for older workers. We need to address potential barriers, such as age discrimination, and prioritise access to fair and fulfilling opportunities. #AgingWorkforce #AgeDiversity #InclusiveWorkplace #HR #Recruitment #ExecutiveSearch

It’s been four years since the worst of the global pandemic and yet the effects of COVID-19 are still being felt - on our health and the economy. 😷 According to new research from ANU, long COVID cost the Australian economy, on average, about $9.6 billion in lost work hours in 2022. Study co-author Professor Quentin Grafton, from the Crawford School of Public Policy, says governments and policymakers should treat long COVID as a public health priority. “Workers experiencing ongoing COVID-19 symptoms months after their initial diagnosis resulted in, on average, about 100 million lost labour hours in 2022. This is equivalent to an average loss of eight hours per employed person, per year, including both full-time and part-time employment."
