Our free annual employment barometer report is now available for you to download. In the report John Philpott, our Chief Economist, forecasts that 2010 will be better for jobs than 2009; but unemployment will continue to rise and there'll be below inflation pay increases for most people. Go to the report to read more about this forecast for a 'jobs-light/pay tight recovery'. You can also read and comment on John Philpott's latest blog.
Read John Philpott's less-than-fond farewell to the 'nauseous naughties' in People Management, which includes his pet hates in the HR and business world.
Thanks to all of you who voted in last week's mini poll. Over 50% of you said that the Government should ditch their plans to increase employers' National Insurance Contributions (NICs) in 2011. This week, following the recent whiteout across the UK, we're asking how you handle employee absence that's caused by bad weather.
As well as the topical mini poll, we're asking for your input with a range of different projects and initiatives this week. Find out why we're asking for volunteers, share your absence triggers in the communities, and take part in our workforce planning survey.
