The Big Debate: Where have all the people gone?
Headlines have been hailing 'The Great Resignation', talking of an employees' marketplace in which businesses are fighting over the top talent. The same media outlets shout about 'Quiet Quitting', amplifying the idea that today's workforce is choosing to only do bare minimum because, frankly, who will replace them?
In this Brighton Big Debate, we're looking at the labour market and the pressures on finding the right people.
Is the power really all with jobseekers? Are some sectors at more risk of unfilled vacancies than others, or is everyone feeling the pinch? Are employers tearing up the recruitment rule-book and having to be more creative in order to stand out?
‘Biggest pain point is finding talent because there is a shortage of talent and our own talent is being targeted!’
Join us, and our expert guests, to explore the challenges of recruitment and sustainable employment in a turbulent economy that only dreams of being high-wage and high-growth.
