The CIPD have presented a brand-new evidence-based policy for solutions that are going to prevent a supply shock for the labour market. This is ahead of the migration restrictions that are going to be taking place in the year 2021.

Immigration and the fact that there is not a continued access to overseas workers are two of the critical issues regarding Brexit. This is going to affect those who work in labour the most. A new immigration system is going to happen in the UK and this is going to change the supply of labour workers from abroad and even the way that businesses can access it. This is going to affect you if you work in labour recruitment or even if you work in labour jobs. The exact details regarding this are yet to be finalised properly but the UK Government are consulting via the white paper to try and find ways to control the supply of EU workers. A portion of the proposals have already emerged, and they have also been somewhat welcomed by employers as well. Others have concerns and they believe that more needs to be done to try and address the issues.

The CIPD have done a survey and they have also conducted discussions with UK employers. They have done this across a huge range of sectors with the overall aim to try and produce a new report. The report addresses a huge number of key alternative options and it is also going to try and address and solve the challenges that are being reported by the members as well.

Who knows what the future is going to hold, but right now it looks like more needs to be done to try and support those who need it the most.
