Pleased to give evidence to the Employment Bill Committee in the House of Commons, raising concerns that @recmembers have about the plans with the Government Minister, Opposition and backbenchers. @RECPress uniquely positioned to represent talent, staffing & recruitment firms.

Using technology to improve public services is laudable. But tech is only as good as the people using it. We've got to take a deeper look at how people are recruited and retained into the NHS, and across the public sector. We're ready to work with government on this. #Budget24

This #Budget24 is trying to walk a careful line. But if your key goal is growth, those growth forecasts don't look great. The NI rise is huge, and will affect the ability of firms to invest. It will also eat a lot of the additional public service funding. (1/)

An NHS staffing plan that includes a review of the inefficient procurement frameworks which drive last-minute and short-term solutions for hiring agency staff should also urgently be addressed.

This afternoon, the Government published the Employment Rights Bill (ERB) – a key part of Labour’s plan to "Make Work Pay". From zero-hours contracts to day-one dismissal rights, this Bill could bring significant changes to the world of work from 2026 onwards. But what does it mean for the recruitment industry?

Speaking on the government #MakeWorkPayPlan, @RECNeil said: “Government must work with businesses to avoid changes that disincentivise hiring, and be clear about timetables, expectations and ensuring that rules will be enforced properly to ensure a level playing field." Read more: bit.ly/3NisLpV

Responding to the publication of the full Employment Rights Bill this afternoon, @RECNeil said: “There is good news in the timescale for delivery, and in the commitment to consultation, as much of the most important detail is yet to be worked out. This should calm business fears for now.” rec.uk.com/our-view/news/…

Today, we launch our new campaign, highlighting the vital role played by people working flexibly - and why it works for them. As we face big changes with new tech, and a government with a big regulatory agenda, hearing their voice matters. (1/)
REC Press Office@RECPress

Today we launch our people-first ‘Voice of the Worker’ campaign which champions the UK’s world-leading temporary workforce, showcasing why #TempWorkWorks for 1 million people in the UK every day. REC Chief Executive Neil Carberry said: "Flexibility at work is something to feel optimistic about. It is working for millions of people. Individual choice and employers’ need for a versatile workforce can be brought together to deliver better careers and higher productivity. As our new survey and video case studies show, flexibility is a vital bridge to work for people who need to balance caring responsibilities, work despite health issues, combine work and study, and upskill."

Lots to like today - commitment to partnership, reforming the apprenticeship levy, and focus on growth. But the successful labour market changes of this century have involved businesses and unions in co-design of the practicalities, and we need that now.
REC Press Office@RECPress

On today’s King’s Speech, @RECNeil said: “We have to be clear – businesses are worried that the government will rush reforms to the labour market and do more harm to workers than good. Changes that restrict choice and opportunity for workers must be avoided as they will undermine both the fight against inactivity and the quest for growth. " rec.uk.com/our-view/news/…

With a decisive mandate in hand, this new government has goodwill from businesses and support for its core goal – getting growth and prosperity flowing across the UK. Only business can deliver this – so a strong partnership is necessary. (1/)

Clearly was having a great time at the @NewStatesman Path to Power Conference earlier this week. Always interesting to hear Labour's vision for the UK, particularly around growth and productivity in the labour market. Plenty to consider in the coming months #NSPath2Power

A proper Industrial Strategy is crucial for the future of the UK labour market. Very interesting to hear some of Labour's plans around this from @LabourSJ this afternoon.
