Employment News
Job vacancies currently outweigh employment in the UK.For the first time ever in the UK, job vacancies currently outweigh unemployment. According to the BBC, “The unemployment rate fell to 3.7% between January and March, its lowest for almost 50 years, as job openings rose to a new high of 1.3 million with around half a million people being disengaged from the labour market.” The number of workers joining UK payrolls grew by 35,000 between February and March to 29.6 million, but according to the ONS, this was the smallest monthly increase since February last year.With wages also being unable to keep up with the growing rate of inflation and the fast-rising cost of living, filling roles has become more difficult, making the current rate of placements lower than the pre-pandemic level. In this month’s Labour Market Tracker from the REC, there were around 1.69million job adverts being shared across the UK, this is due to a backlog of job ads being shared following the closing of businesses during the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. Image: BBC via Office for National Statistics.Four-Day Working Week TrialAcross the UK, a number of companies are trialling a 4-day working week without an impact on pay. Around 70 companies are taking part in the trial, which involves an 80% work week, with 100% pay. This is a pilot programme run by 4 Day Global and is going to run for around 6 months, in what is known as a ‘100-80-100’ system, 100% pay, 80% of the employee’s time, with a promise of 100% of their productivity. Highest Fall in Basic Pay Since 2011According to the Office for National Statistics, wages fell by 1% between December 2021 – February 2022, with wages struggling to keep up with the increasing rate of inflation and cost of living. Public sector workers are deemed most likely to be impacted by the changes, with their wages increasing by only 1.9% compared to the private sector’s 6.2%. The Office for Budget Responsibility recently warned that households will experience the biggest fall in income since records began in 1956, expecting a drop of more than 2.2% this year.

Report on Jobs: Hiring Activity Growth Softens Further in May
The latest report on jobs by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and KMPG has confirmed that the UK job market has taken a sustained slowdown in the growth of recruitment activity. Key findingsWhilst May survey data pointed to a further robust increase in hiring activity across the UK, there were signs of a further slowdown in overall growth. Most notably, permanent staff appointments expanded at the softest rate since March 2021, whilst temp billings increased at the slowest rate in 15 months. The candidate shortage once again came into play in May as further deterioration in candidate supply was seen. Underlying data from the Report on Jobs indicates that permanent candidates continued to decline at a faster pace than that seen for temporary workers. Demand for staff continued to rise at a historically sharp pace in May with permanent vacancies continuing to expand at a quicker rate than that of temp roles. Demand for short-term staff increased at the softest pace for five months. With the supply of workers falling further and demand for staff remaining high, recruiters noted sustained upward pressures on rates of starting pay in May, with perm salaries rising at a rapid pace that was among the quickest since the start of this survey in October 1997.You can download and read the full report here. As the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and socio-political climate continue, it is unsurprising that employers are focussing on retaining their current staff but also making additions to their teams to lessen unemployment levels and aid the growth of the UK labour market. To find out how Meridian can support your business through this uncertainty and beyond, please contact one of our team today.

Take Care of Your Mind this Stress Awareness Month
This week marked the start of stress awareness month, a month based around lessening the effects of stress and discovering their causes so issues can be tackled head-on. Stress can be experienced in many different ways, it can help to motivate us to achieve things in our daily life, but too much stress can affect our mood and cause us to feel anxious.Research shows that 74% of the UK felt overwhelmed or unable to cope at some point over the last year following the impact of the pandemic, changes in the ways of working, and the uncertainty of the job market during this period. Although restrictions have now lifted and life is seemingly heading back to some level of normality, the impact of such stresses can be long-lasting. Stress Awareness Month aims to help people pick up on what makes them stressed and address issues head-on before they affect day-to-day life, and now post-pandemic aims to help people feel a sense of normality in the workplace. Stress presents itself in many ways, therefore needs to be dealt with through different means. Throughout this month, we will be looking at the ways in which stress can be reduced in the workplace. We have listed some ways to face stressful situations, whether they be physical such as going for a walk, doing some exercise, or getting a break away from your computer or phone, or mental, such as talking to a friend or colleague about worries you may have, or making sure you have a clear workspace to focus on your tasks for the day.Here are some tips to help reduce the feelings of stress to get you through a stressful day:Get outdoors for a walk - Fresh air and exercise are both ways of winding down and helping to relieve stress.Take a break! - Getting away from your screen for a short break can help massively. Grab a cuppa with a friend or colleague and take 5 minutes to switch off!Get some exercise - Exercise releases endorphins in the brain to make handling stress that little bit easier.Listen to your favourite music - Make a playlist of your favourite songs and take some time to switch off and relax.Make a list of priorities for the day - tick off each point on the list as they're completed to keep track of what you've achieved throughout the day.Clear space, clear mind - Remove any distractions you may have by having a spring clean. This could be your workspace, one room, or your whole house!Lessen your screen time - Sometimes our phones can be the biggest distraction day-to-day. Try to take some time away from the screen for a little while each day.Talk to a friend or colleague if something is worrying you. Always talk to someone if you’re feeling stressed or anxious and get things off your chest. A problem shared is a problem halved.Set yourself a challenge - focus on something completely new, such as taking up a new hobby or sport to keep your mind active.We are very fortunate at Meridian to have a very supportive team across all of our branches. If you ever find yourself struggling, please reach out to someone you trust, there will always be someone to help. There are also many online resources available such as MIND, MentalHealth.org, and ReThink.https://www.mind.org.uk/https://www.nhs.uk/every-mind-matters/mental-health-issues/stress/https://www.rethink.org/advice-and-information/living-with-mental-illness/wellbeing-physical-health/stress-how-to-cope/https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/getting-help

Roz is now the holder of 4 Guinness World Records and an MBE for services to fundraising and the environment. Roz addressed the Meridian team on the importance of resilience and perseverance through difficulties, this was proven by 4 members of our team joining Roz on stage ‘rowing’ a mile whilst being splashed by ‘waves’ along the way. One way of getting through the struggles was to ‘begin with the end in mind – your funeral’ and not leave behind any regrets. Roz profoundly stated ‘I want to look back and know I did my best and tried my hardest. I realised I wanted to leave a legacy’ a statement to live by!Following a catch-up at the bar with colleagues and friends from branches across the country, our evening event commenced, with everyone dressed to the nines and celebrating our colleagues once more presented by our esteemed host, Rob Latimer.

Diary of a New Starter: Tom Bagnara
I’m Tom and I have recently started as Labour Co-Ordinator for the North West, Yorkshire and the Midlands, and I’m based on the Mechanical and Engineering team at our Manchester Head Office. A large part of my job is to fill vacancies for clients that need plumbers, electricians, and pipe fitters onsite. I also keep my team informed of who is becoming available and who is currently onsite. Prior to working at Meridian, I went straight from school to playing football full time for Altrincham until I had a knee injury that led me to getting an actual job. From there, I worked as a sales executive before deciding to travel around Europe. I spent two months back home in Avellino, Italy where most of my family are from and after that I travelled around lots of different places including Santorini and Iceland.Shortly after starting at Meridian, I took part in several induction sessions with Head of Learning & Development, Jamie Abbot, where we were also joined by our CEO, Derek Skelton. I have learnt a lot from the sessions with Jamie, and the most important point I have taken away is how much Meridian look after you and they will always be willing to put you through more training if you ever wanted to. The attraction to recruitment came from a financial perspective - money is a key thing for me. If you put hard work in and maintain good relationships, you can make a good career, and earn quite a lot of money! Plus, working for a large company like Meridian can help me to spread my name across the industry. However, my main reason for wanting to work at Meridian was to learn about recruitment, build good relationships with people in the office and to just enjoy being back in work again.To see how Tom can help you with your next position, contact him at tom.bagnara@meridianbs.co.uk or call 0161 929 3860
