Demand for contingent spikes as skills shortages drive need for temporary resources

New data reveals that demand for contingent workers has continued to spike amidst growing skills shortages, with 60% of employers expecting to increase contingent hires over the next two years. That’s according to new research from leading background screening and identity services firm, Sterling.

According to the data, which comes from a global survey of more than 1,200 HR professionals and perspectives from more than 3,700 recent job seekers, reliance on the contingent segment of the workforce has already become the new norm, with over half (59%) of employers revealing that all or most of their workforce is made up of contractors, consultants and other forms of temporary workers.

Hiring challenges

The survey also revealed that 46% of businesses have been struggling to find enough qualified candidates to fill positions, while 40% admitted that they were facing hiring complications due to new regulations and new types of work. Only 8% stated that they had no major hiring challenges, which is perhaps unsurprising in light of the widely reported skills endemic across Europe.

This shift in reliance on flexible workers has created concerns around compliance, with 70% of businesses anticipating that hiring regulations and practices will become increasingly complicated over the next two years. However, the data does show that measures to combat potential future challenges have been put in place, with 62% of those surveyed confirming that they have made alterations to their screening process in order to support contingent workers.

Steve Smith, President International at Sterling, commented:

“The results of our survey strongly indicate that demand for the contingent workforce will only intensify as skills shortages continue. And with the UK Government recently issuing new guidance on employment status and employment rights for temporary workers, the complexity of gig worker hiring is only going to be exacerbated. However, while there are a wealth of complexities and nuances around recruiting and employing these individuals, alongside a growing need for quick turnarounds, businesses need to ensure they’re not compromising compliance for speed. Navigating the complex compliance barriers of this segment of the workforce isn’t easy, but those firms that do it well will be the ones that thrive in the new world of work.”

Unemployed urged not to give up at Shrewsbury prison event

Vulnerable people across Shropshire who face barriers to employment are being urged not to give up hope and seek support from a leading charity to help turn their lives around.

That was the message from former drug addict and ex-prisoner Steve Wyatt, who gave an inspirational and emotional talk at the opening of the Building Shropshire Summer Jobs Fair on Wednesday, July 20, at Shrewsbury Prison.

The event was organised by award-winning supported employment and training charity Landau to bring employers and job seekers together to help lower unemployment rates across the county and help businesses build back stronger from the pandemic.

Steve, who now runs his own successful business and has a partnership with Shropshire-based celebrity furniture restorer Jay Blades, spoke openly to business leaders about his 22-year addiction to drugs and how he changed his life for the better after reaching out for help and discovering his passion for furniture restoration.

He highlighted that for many people facing addiction, mental health issues or other challenges, finding the right job and passion can have the single biggest impact on their life and the ability to move forward.

He said: “For me, furniture saved my life. We all have our struggles whether it be addiction, mental health or something else but finding a passion is key. I knew what I wanted to do and if other people can find their passion with the support of employers and businesses then it will save lives.”

Landau, which won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2021 for promoting opportunity through social mobility, works alongside its partners with some of the region’s most vulnerable people, including ex-offenders, offering support and skills training to get them back into sustainable jobs.

More than 30 businesses exhibited at the jobs fair under the roof of Shrewsbury’s iconic prison and dozens of job seekers were in attendance.

Exhibitors covered a range of industry sectors including care, construction, retail and hospitality and there were more than 500 vacancies on offer.

Phil Taylor, Chief Operating Officer for Landau, said: “The jobs fair has been another huge success in the Building Shropshire campaign, and we are delighted that we have been able to support job seekers with their next career move and support businesses which have been facing recruitment challenges.

“Having Steve at the event has been hugely inspirational and we know his talk will resonate heavily with many people that are currently unemployed or those who are finding themselves at a crossroads in life for whatever reason.

“It is not always easy to know where to turn but here in Shropshire support is available for people and our employment advisors at Landau are always on hand to offer advice to individuals, put them in touch with the right organisations and help them to achieve the skills they need to get back into employment.

“We are also very fortunate to have a connected business sector in Shropshire with lots of opportunities and we are working with many employers in the area to ensure diversity in the workplace is at the top of their agenda, making it easier for more vulnerable people to gain sustainable employment.

“We hope that those attending will follow Steve’s heartfelt advice and not give up. Often the first step to turning your life around is to reach out for support and our doors are always open.”

Formerly from Birmingham, Steve’s journey started seven years ago when he admitted himself to rehab following a long addiction to drugs, which had seen him living rough on the streets and spending time in prison.

To help him recover, he began a 12-step treatment programme, and it was during this time that he learned the art of furniture restoration and his love for it.

It was also around this time that he met Jay Blades, host of BBC TV’s The Repair Shop and owner of furniture restoration company Jay & Co which has workshops in Ironbridge and Wolverhampton.

“I distinctly remember Jay asking me ‘what could you do different?’ and it really stuck in my head,” explained Steve.

Soon after he began restoring bits of furniture in his garden and selling them online. He then moved from Birmingham to Poole to be with his partner and just before the pandemic he opened a workshop in an antiques emporium.

In December 2020, he then got the keys for his first shop – Restored Retro – and since opening he has sold in the region of 400 individual pieces of furniture.

Throughout his journey, Steve has continued to receive support from Jay and within the last few months, the pair have struck up a new business partnership with Steve being one of only five UK stockists to sell Jay’s own collection of furniture.

The Building Shropshire project was launched by Landau earlier this year in partnership with Shropshire Council to support employers and job seekers across the county to build back stronger from the pandemic.

AMS strengthens position in India with FlexAbility acquisition

The renamed “FlexAbility by AMS” will provide Indian talent for AMS’s global clients in banking and other sectors

AMS (formerly Alexander Mann Solutions), the leading global provider of talent outsourcing and advisory services, today announced the acquisition of FlexAbility, its longstanding Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner in India, from the shareholders of  firm ABC Consultants, the pioneer of recruitment services in the country.

FlexAbility, renamed FlexAbility by AMS, will operate within the AMS global platform. FlexAbility CEO Vinod Subramanian will continue to lead its management team and the company’s next phase of growth.

Founded in 2009, FlexAbility is headquartered in Mumbai and has more than 1,000 employees across seven cities in India. For more than a decade, AMS has been working with FlexAbility to provide Indian talent to global clients across a wide range of sectors. The acquisition formally combines AMS’s global platform with FlexAbility’s local expertise in India, an increasingly important recruitment and workforce services market for AMS global clients.

David Leigh, AMS CEO, said: “I am delighted that we are taking our long and highly successful partnership with FlexAbility to the next level. The demand from global clients for Indian talent continues to grow apace and this acquisition will strengthen our leadership position in the exciting and talent-rich Indian market.”

FlexAbility CEO Vinod Subramanian said: “The world has changed radically since the global pandemic and the demand for Indian talent is insatiable. Becoming an integral part of the AMS family gives FlexAbility an even stronger platform for growth. Our employees will have great opportunities for professional development and AMS clients from across the world will have greater access to Indian talent.”

Shiv Agrawal, MD, ABC Consultants said: “I am very proud of how FlexAbility has evolved and grown over the past 12 years to become a leader in the RPO market in India. Partnering with AMS to deliver world class service out of India has been fantastic and I wish AMS, Vinod & the entire team at FlexAbility nothing but the very best for the future”

The acquisition reinforces India’s position as a global leader in RPO. India is witnessing unprecedented growth in demand for talent, recruitment and workforce advisory support for multinational corporations (MNCs) as economies revive and respond to a new culture of remote working. Competitive talent-rich markets such as India have stepped up to provide central services for global companies at a time of deepening skills shortages in some developed markets.

Against this backdrop this acquisition’ will provide AMS with a strong foundation for further growth worldwide as it serves MNCs that are rapidly adopting RPO services.

Today’s announcement follows a period of strong global growth at AMS, especially in the United States where its headcount has grown four-fold in the last 18 months and is now close to 2,000 strong. AMS has also expanded significantly in Europe and Asia, with multiple new office openings to meet demand from many of the world’s leading organisations for talent acquisition and management to gain a competitive advantage. India and FlexAbility by AMS are set to play a key role in AMS’s global growth strategy.

OMERS, one of Canada’s largest defined benefit pension funds with C$121 billion in net assets, is the principal investor in AMS and the agreement also extends its connection and commitment to India. OMERS investments in India include renewable energy producer Azure Power and toll road operator IndInfravit.

The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

IRIS Software Group partners with Experian to make applying for loans and mortgages easier for millions of UK employees

IRIS Software Group (IRIS), one of the UK’s largest software companies, has today announced it is partnering with Experian, the global information services company, to simplify and broaden access to better financial products and services for the one in six UK workers who are paid using IRIS’ software.

The cost of living crisis has brought into sharp focus the need for consumers to be in full control of their personal finances. Rising prices and stringent verification requirements for loan or mortgage applications are putting even more pressure on already stretched UK workers. Yet while consumers have gone digital – ‘generation now’ expects to be able to apply for a mortgage in minutes, not days – crucial payroll and employment data doesn’t easily connect into a digital-first world.

Through the Experian partnership, IRIS is removing this friction for millions of UK workers; providing the data security and ease of access they need when sharing payroll and employment data with financial institutions, lenders and other organisations.

The partnership will enable employees paid using IRIS’ payroll software, subject to their consent, to share a one-off real-time digital verification of their payroll, employment and income information directly from their employer to a trusted financial services provider of their choice. This will considerably reduce the time and effort it takes to manually compile critical payroll and employment documents when applying for mortgages, loans or rental agreements, and enable data to be shared more securely.

The capability will be rolled out over the next 12 months to all of IRIS’ payroll products and will be delivered through Work Report, an Experian product. From September, IRIS customers will be given the opportunity to opt out of the scheme, and the payroll data will be available, subject to employee consent, to all Experian customers using Work Report.

“The consumer world is moving at pace and businesses must be prepared to facilitate digital-first processes”, comments Winston Poyton, Senior Product Director at IRIS Software Group. “By partnering with Experian, we can enable total employee-consented payroll data access so millions of UK workers can take control of their personal finances when buying a house or being approved for a car loan. We’re proud to be the cornerstone of payroll and look forward to rolling the capabilities out to all of our payroll products over the coming 12 months.”

Emma Davies, Strategy, Markets and Portfolio Director at Experian, said:  “People already share their personal financial information to access services digitally – whether that’s applying for a mortgage, starting a new job or renting a property. By drawing on the use of payroll data quickly and securely, with consumer consent, we can provide access to better value services and help people make better financial decisions.”

New scheme delivers £1million funding to support autism services in Birmingham and Solihull

Community organisations in Birmingham and Solihull are invited to bid for more than £1 million of funding to develop new services, which will improve the health and wellbeing of people with autism.

The All-Aged Autism Support Service is being led by Midlands-based supported employment and training charity Landau with funding provided by National Health Service England & NHS Improvement (NHSEI) in partnership with the Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group.

As part of the programme, community-based organisations will be invited to apply for grants so that they can improve existing services for people with autism and create new services.

Landau, which has its headquarters in Telford, will also develop a new service directory as part of the scheme to make it easier for people with autism, their parents, families and carers to understand what services exist in their local area and how they can gain access to them.

Sonia Roberts, CEO of Landau, said there was an urgent need to improve healthcare for people with autism and the new All-Aged Autism Support Service will be designed and produced by several highly experienced experts.

“National research shows that people with autism die on average 16 years earlier than the general population, which increases further if they have learning disabilities,” she said.

“Across Birmingham and Solihull there is a real determination to improve the quality and access to services provided to our autism community, so that we can begin to reverse this trend. This new scheme will not only improve but also increase the number of integrated community support services on offer.

“Crucially, it will provide more timely access to support and encourage self-management skills. It will be a complete game-changer, filling in the gaps that currently exist in autism service provision and bring about new innovative services — we are excited about the potential of this project.”

The All-Aged Autism Service was officially launched on Wednesday May 25, at The Tally Ho Conference Centre on Pershore Road, Birmingham.

Organisations that run autism services in Birmingham or Solihull that are interested in finding out more about the scheme or applying for grant funding can email allageautism.co.uk

The dedicated Service Directory will go live later this year and groups, organisations and businesses interested in being listed can also email allageautism.co.uk for further information.

Landau has been helping people with learning disabilities, including those with autism, into sustainable employment for the last 27 years.

Annually, it helps in the region of 3,000 vulnerable individuals back into the workplace or into training schemes through its specialist support.

In 2021 it was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise for its work in Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility).

Employment lawyer issues warning over Jubilee working

Jubilee celebrations could be marred by workplace unrest if employers fail to deal correctly with holiday and pay issues involving their staff, a leading employment lawyer has warned.

Sarah Williams, the head of employment at north west firm Taylors Solicitors, said the four-day bank holiday weekend could trigger discontent if bosses act unfairly.

She has seen a spike in inquiries from employers leading up to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, which is being marked by an additional bank holiday.

The Spring Bank Holiday, which usually falls on the last Monday of May, is being moved to this Thursday. Friday June 3 has been designated as an extra bank holiday, meaning Britons will enjoy a four-day bank holiday weekend.

Sarah said the care, hospitality and leisure, manufacturing, transport, logistics and retailing sectors are among those where issues are arising.

She said: “Employers have been inundated with requests for holidays to be taken over this weekend, with many people planning to go away.

“They are facing unusual and complex circumstances due to the extra bank holiday and the switch from Monday.

“Holiday issues at the best of times can be difficult to deal with, especially in relation to part-time staff or those who work irregular hours. With the extra bank holiday, there is more potential for conflict.”

She said key issues are involving pay, whether bank holidays are included or not in leave entitlement, and whether employers can make their staff work as they look for ways to keep their businesses functioning.

“Many employers do not fully understand where they stand, and are struggling about whether they have to give people the bank holidays off and how to manage the situation,” she said.

“It is causing particular problems in relation to part-time staff, as many don’t work on Fridays. Some are asking whether they are still entitled to the extra day’s pay, as it is a bank holiday.

“Because there is no statutory right to bank holiday leave and pay under the Working Time Regulations, employers must look at the contracts they have in place to understand their staff’s holiday leave and pay entitlement.

“Provided the employment contract expressly says so, employees can be required to work on a bank holiday.”

She added: “However, part-time employees should not be treated less favourably than those working full-time, otherwise they could pursue a discrimination claim. The same applies to other employees. Employers must respect those with protected characteristics at work and deal with everyone fairly and equally.

“If full-time employees are being given an extra bank holiday, then part-time employees should be offered the same, even if they do not usually work on that day.

“At the same time, employees should be mindful of their employers’ needs, as they will have to absorb one less day of productivity or service this year, and the cost can be high.”

Sarah said problems often occur when contracts are not clearly defined.

“It’s imperative that employers take advice and ensure contracts are well drafted to avoid conflict and potential discrimination or grievance claims,” she said.

Shropshire event celebrates success of £7.8 million Building Better Opportunities project

An event has been held to celebrate the success of a £7.8 million project in Shropshire, which has supported scores of vulnerable and isolated people back into employment and training and helped hundreds more build confidence and skills ready for the world of work.

The Building Better Opportunities (BBO) initiative has been led across the county by Wellington-based supported employment and training charity, Landau, in partnership with 18 different organisations.

Co-funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund, the project, which aimed to reduce isolation, build confidence and support people into training and work, has provided support to a total of 2,459 individuals to date.

Over the duration of the programme, it has helped 549 people into employment; supported 1,155 people to gain skills for the world of work; reduced isolation for a further 545 people and created 137 jobs locally.

On Wednesday (May 4), those involved in the programme, gathered at Shrewsbury Town Football Club to celebrate its success and hear from individuals about their achievements.

Phil Taylor, chief operations officer for Landau, said the BBO programme had been a huge success.

“This project has been hugely important to those who have been long term unemployed. It was designed to support people from jobless households, people with disabilities and those with low basic skills by improving their wellbeing, confidence, mental health, helping with isolation and moving people closer to the jobs market.

“Here at Landau, we have been here to steady the ship, but this has been a collective effort through everyone’s hard work, and we have done a great job together. It has been a great success in Shropshire.”

Madeleine Spinks, CEO of the Data Orchard, which was tasked with providing an independent evaluation of the programme, said it was clear from the analysis that Building Better Opportunities had been successful in helping participants overcome several key challenges to employment.

She reported that at the start of the programme 41% of participants had a low life satisfaction (compared to 5% nationally) however, by the end of their time on the programme, this figure had dropped to 10%.

“This shows a great improvement in the way people felt about their lives after being involved in the programme,” she said.

National charity Small Woods Association, which operates its Green Wood Centre headquarters in Coalbrookdale, was among the partners attending the celebratory event.

The charity has been running its Build-a-Bench courses with funding through the BBO programme. It helps participants learn fresh skills, build confidence and meet new people while they receive support towards getting back into employment.

Participant Lizzie Fellows told the event that the initiative had been “life-changing”.

The 21-year-old had been suffering from anxiety, depression and agoraphobia and had felt extremely isolated throughout the Covid pandemic.

“Being referred to Small Woods was one of the best things that has ever happened to me,” she said.

“I visit once a week and it is the highlight of my week — I want to be there every day. It has brought life into my life.”

Amanda Lickorish has also been a participant on the BBO programme and has received support from project partner Crowsmill Craft Centre C.I.C near Bridgnorth.

Amanda was suffering similar challenges to Lizzie after relocating to Shropshire from Oxfordshire and despite being previously employed and running her own craft-related courses, she was finding it difficult to gain the confidence she needed to work.

However, the team at Crowsmill, which supports people to learn new skills and build confidence through a range of crafts including carpentry, welding, blacksmithing and metalwork, helped Amanda turn her life around.

She said: “It never occurred to me that I would be a user of this kind of service especially as I used to provide craft services myself. I started the programme feeling completely out of my comfort zone but in no time at all the place really got under my skin.

“They helped me gain the confidence I needed to get back in touch with who I was. It’s so unique, so friendly and I did not want to leave when my time on the programme came to an end, so I have now become a volunteer teacher there.”

Dickon Pitt, director of Crowsmill, added: “We’ve been delighted to be involved with the BBO programme. Through the BBO journey participants have demonstrated increased self-esteem alongside new skills acquisition. This belief in themselves has enabled them to take up a range of volunteering opportunities and as a result they have been able to move forward with their lives.”

The BBO programme has been running in Shropshire since 2017 after Landau won the bid to deliver the project.

To showcase its success, Landau is currently in the process of editing an inspirational book that will highlight the achievements of many of those involved.

Working With Covid: A Guide for Employers Part 2

Written by the Employment Law team at Mersons Solicitors

Ensuring a safe workplace 

On 21 February 2022, the Prime Minister gave a statement to the House of Commons setting out the government’s strategy for living with COVID-19 in England.

In our ‘Working with COVID‘ series, we will guide employers in England through issues relating to COVID-19 now that there are no longer legal restrictions in place.

This article focuses on choices employers can make to ensure a safe workplace for their employees.

Risk Assessments

From April 2022, the vast majority of employers will no longer have a legal obligation to cover COVID-19 in their risk assessments, but government guidance states they may choose to do so. Employers will still be responsible for the health and safety of their employees at work, and this should include measures relating to COVID, such as social distancing, ventilation and handwashing.

Testing

During the pandemic, many employers introduced testing policies to ensure a safe environment when employees returned to the workplace. Employers may wish to keep their testing policies in place in the short term to reduce the likelihood of employees catching and spreading COVID-19 and being absent from work.

However, the latest government guidance does not include testing as a method of ensuring a safe workplace. Free testing for the general public has also ended, meaning employees can no longer order lateral flow tests or book PCR tests without incurring costs. It is unlikely that employers will be able to insist that employees cover the costs of COVID-19 testing themselves in order to come to work, so these costs would need to be covered by the employer.

If an employee refuses to continue testing, despite the employer paying for the test, this may be a disciplinary offence. It is unlikely that a long-term testing policy would be a ‘reasonable management instruction’ enabling an employer to dismiss an employee who refuses to test, particularly in light of current guidance and as the COVID-19 virus gradually becomes less dangerous from a medical perspective.

Masks

There is also no longer any legal requirement to wear face masks in public places. Employers will need to carefully consider whether it is reasonable to continue to require employees to wear masks whilst at work. This decision will vary between different business environments and may be more reasonable in public-facing roles, such as retail businesses.

Whilst not specifically referring to the workplace, government guidance does recommend masks if COVID-19 rates are at a high level and people will be in close contact with others in enclosed spaces.

Employers should also support employees who may choose to wear a mask in the workplace.

Clinically Extremely Vulnerable Employees

Many employers may decide that now is the time to relax their COVID-19 policies relating to testing and masks. However, guidance continues to recognise that certain employees may be vulnerable to COVID-19 where they are immunosuppressed. Vulnerable employees are advised to continue to work from home if they can. Where this is not possible, employers and employees should discuss what arrangements can be made to reduce the risk of the employee catching COVID-19, including taking advice from an occupational health physician. It may be the case that an employee is considered disabled under the Equality Act 2010 and would, therefore, be entitled to reasonable adjustments to facilitate their return to work, such as a change in work location or hours.

Long Covid

Employers should also monitor the growing medical knowledge around the condition known as “Long Covid“. This condition carries a range of varying symptoms – including fatigue, pains, headaches, anxiety and breathing difficulties – and impacts people who have previously contracted COVID-19. Those who suffer from long-term health problems as a result of COVID-19 could qualify as “disabled” under law and be entitled to reasonable adjustments to their role and other protections under the Equality Act 2010. Employers should be aware of the existence of this condition when they enforce their absence management and capability procedures. If necessary, employers should seek occupational health advice on the condition.

Taking Legal Advice

The situation with COVID-19 is ever-changing. Employers are advised to take legal advice on how COVID-19 may continue to affect their specific business when working with covid.

If you have any more questions or would like more information regarding working with Covid, you can contact the Employment Solicitors at Myerson.
