To Bristol! Not only to take advantage of the classic Greggs breakfast deal, but more importantly to see our SW @recpress.bsky.social members all day. Best bit of the job - there’s quite a lot to discuss…

Thanks to @telegraphnews.bsky.social for allowing us to set out some NHS workforce realities this morning. Yes there are issues - but their aren’t about the presence of flexible workers in the NHS. If we worked together we could address them. @recpress.bsky.social is ready to help.

Early start to talk to @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social for @recpress.bsky.social about business concerns on the Employment Rights Bill at a time when firms are facing a cascade of costs and shedding staff. Important that details of changes are not rushed. And it is light outside before half six!

Early start chatting jobs market & Govt policy with @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social - firms cautious now. NI rise, NMW rise & undercooked Employment Rights Bill all playing a role. If Govt wants growth - & fundamentals are good - take time with changes & make them practical for biz.

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

Early shift - talking about Government labour market policies with Lukwesa Burak on BBC Business - big plan on getting UK working out today - but the private sector is key and Budget impact an issue.

I was pleased to join a small delegation of major sector bodies for a meeting with the team at No 10 this evening.
With challenges resulting from the Budget, and a big regulatory agenda, it was good to share concerns raised by REC members & discuss how to get growth going.

Enjoyed chatting to @bloomberg.com Radio and LBC this morning about the economy, the jobs market and the need to inject some dynamism in the Budget. Challenges with skills and the Employment Bill need to be taken head on if they aren’t going to hamper growth.

Early start in London for a media round on what REC members are seeing in the jobs market as experts in how businesses are reacting to the current economy. Some of the offices still have their head in the clouds…

On Friday, it was good to welcome @bankofengland.bsky.social Chief Economist and MPC member Huw Pill to a discussion with REC member Chief Execs. From the outlook to hiring behaviour changes - a useful ongoing conversation!

Hmm. If I wanted a business view on changes to employment law, I would have asked people with profit and loss responsibility in a business, not middle
managers in HR (though their expertise is critical).

Today's edition of the REC #LabourMarketTracker, produced with Lightcast offers us some insight into the market in July. Overall story is pretty stable. Still about 1.7m active ads, with slightly fewer new ones last month... (1/2)

The room where it happens. As an industrial relations guy, I really value the willingness of this government to open up difficult and challenging issues in how we regulate the labour market. Whatever we do, the flexibility that firms need and workers want should be protected.
