    Chief Executive Officer at Recruitment & Employment Confederation

    Always good to start the day talking to the great Sally Bundock on BBC News about the jobs market, picking up on James Reed CBE's comments at the weekend, and today's official labour market data and sessions in Parliament on the Employment Rights Bill. Businesses are re-considering their hiring plans right now, but the economic fundamentals are actually quite good. Govt would do well to realise that supporting growth is about action, not words - and consider what it could do to reassure firms. Phasing changes to the NI threshold and not rushing the undercooked Employment Rights Bill would be two BIG steps. Our Recruitment & Employment Confederation members see potential next year, but it needs a helping hand!
