Although the pandemic has made life difficult for many businesses, recent research has shown that 78% of firms are ‘somewhat to very confident’ about their growth prospects for the first half of 2021.
The Robert Half UK report also found that 23% of the businesses surveyed are actually expanding their workforce and actively adding new positions.
Matt Weston, Managing Director of Robert Half, commented on the findings, “Our latest employment market data suggests a mixed commercial picture at this stage of the Covid-19 pandemic cycle. The global shift to remote and hybrid working, as well as the pivot towards online and e-commerce revenue generation and data-driven operational and planning processes, are all influencing the hiring intentions and priorities that Robert Half is seeing at the start of the New Year.

As such, business agility, adaptability, risk management and forward planning propensities continue to be top priorities for many companies. These same attributes are also likely to be hallmarks of the evolving future of work in the longer term.
“During what remains a volatile business environment in which change remains the only constant, many companies are struggling to find the talent they need to support new business priorities sparked by the pandemic. Professionals with in-demand skills know they still have options and employers must offer competitive salaries and benefits to retain key personnel, as well as attract and secure top candidates during this calendar year – and beyond.”
