In partnership with Pertemps Network Group, our Employment Trends Survey provides a cross-economy insight into labour market trends impacting businesses’ ability to grow and operate sustainably.
Key findings include
Investment intentions
- A significant majority (62%) of employers surveyed by the CBI and Pertemps predict a decline in the UK as an attractive place to invest and do business over the next five years. Notably, businesses are increasingly pessimistic with a 6% upswing in those concerned that the UK is set to become ‘much less attractive’.
- A negative swing in expectations for the impact of the labour market on the UK as a place to invest and do business in the next 5 years. 36% of employers think that the UK labour market will become a much less attractive place to invest and/or do business in the next 5 years, an increase of 6% since last year. A further 26% think it will become slightly less attractive.
