Spending Review must prioritise employment reform and recruitment investment, says APSCo

The consultant and the treasury must re -customize funds to support the recruitment and employment market reforms, according to the Association of Vocational Employment Companies (APSCO).

In providing spending review, APSCO urged the government to focus investment on targeted employment reforms that will lead economic growth, improve regulatory frameworks, and address deficiency in critical skills across major industries.

The organization calls for a review of the draft work law, especially zero hours reforms, to ensure that it does not negatively affect the highly skilled workforce. APSCO also highlighted the urgent need for visa system improvements, urging the government to allocate larger resources to the home office so that critical visa repairs can be efficiently delivered.

In addition to immigration, APSCO calls for strengthening organizational supervision within employment, including reforms in the case of self -employment, continuous review of the rules outside the participation, and the appropriate organization for umbrellas to prevent exploitation in the labor market. It also calls for updating the 2010 agency worker regulations (AWR), with the exception of high -wage contractors of the bases originally designed for low -wage agency workers.

Fears have also been raised about the transparency of the supply chain, as APSCO urges the Ministry of Business and Trade (DBT) to take stronger action on reasonable payment conditions, make the immediate payment law mandatory for large companies, and adjust relevant regulations to improve fairness in supply chain payments.

In order to realize the most work of the UK’s workforce, APSCO calls for an increase in the financing of the employment reform of the sector, especially in industries such as health and social welfare, as employment challenges continue to affect the provision of services.

Tania Powers, Director of Global Public Policy at APSCO, confirmed that targeted recruitment reforms are necessary to enhance the UK economy and ensure a skilled and competitive workforce: “The recruitment sector is a success story in the United Kingdom – the availability of innovation and the opportunity for the workforce in the United Kingdom – and it will be important in a place Achieving continuous economic growth in the future.

“We share the government’s focus on sustainable development within the financial restrictions of the Ministry of Treasury. However, organizational reforms in employment are necessary to support this growth by strengthening the base of the UK skills.”

Powers also warned that recent political changes in the draft employment law have negatively affected employment, and urged the government to carefully consider the long -term consequences while reviewing spending.

As companies and employment agencies face increasing challenges in identifying skilled talents, APSCO calls for a balanced package of reforms to enhance employment regulations, improve visa access, and enhance the UK labor market for high skills professionals.
