FREE WEBINAR –
The biggest trends impacting the UK workforce

11.00am-12.00pm (GMT)

Join our free insightful webinar and learn the biggest trends impacting the UK workforce! Hosted by theHRDIRECTOR and partnered by Gallup

THE PROBLEM:

On average we spend 81,396 hours at work, and the only thing we spend more time on is sleep, so it’s important to understand the impact work has on us and the economy we operate in.

Last year, Gallup‘s annual report on the ‘State of the Global Workplace’ found that Life Satisfaction fell across Europe while Employee Engagement stagnated at record low levels. Less than half (47 per cent) of Europeans say they lived well, a decline of five percentage points from the previous year. 

The outlook was even worse for the UK which was found to be the home of one of the most dissatisfied workforces in Europe. Just nine per cent of UK workers felt enthused by their work and workplace where we have seen Employee Engagement among UK workers decline steadily over the last decade.

A year after this 2022 report, will the situation look any different for the UK work force as we see inflation and the cost of living continuing to take its toll?

WHAT WE WILL EXAMINE:

We are partnering with Gallup who are on a mission to help create thriving workplaces around the world and who produce an annual report on the State of the Global Workplace. This annual report represents the collective voice of the global employee.

Some of the key points will cover:

• 2023 State of the Global Workforce report
• Employee engagement and job opportunities surge globally, coming back in line with pre-pandemic historical trends on economic development and growth.
• Spotlight the results of the UK’s workforces – living in a nation struggling to control high inflation and spiraling living costs.
• How employees’ stress is impacting productivity and performance as organisational leaders endeavor to navigate an uncertain economic outlook
• Addressing wellbeing concerns and why improving employee engagement/experience should be top priorities of business leaders in the UK

We will be running a series of polls in the Webinar and welcome your questions throughout with a final Q&A at the end.
