As we approach the end of the year and gear up for 2025, what economic and labour market situation awaits us? Our Q3 2024 Labour Market Strategic Insights published yesterday show that the global labour market is facing several challenges, with agency work activity remaining strained due to negative turnover growth in many countries, despite some stabilization in hours worked. Job vacancy rates and labour shortages are easing, although in some sectors they are still strong. Join the next edition of our #WEConversations webinar series on Thursday, October 10th at 2 PM CEST to find out which reasons are behind the frictions in labour markets. You’ll hear from those at the heart of labour markets’ complex interactions: our Corporate Members. 🎙 Martin Meier, Group VP Insights and Strategy, The Adecco Group 🎙 Dominique Hermans, Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, Randstad 🎙 Daniele Merlerati, Chief Regional Officer APAC, Baltics & Benelux, Gi Group Holding The discussion will be moderated by Shazia Ejaz, Director of Campaigns & Research, Recruitment & Employment Confederation. Don't let the whirlwind of change leave you behind; embrace it with WEConversations and secure your spot now! Register here: https://lnkd.in/eFut5WtU

World Employment Confederation reposted this
Influencer, Keynote Speaker & Author of several books on the Changing World of Work and Executive Director of World Employment Confederation " #FoW #PublicAffairs #LabourMarket #Staffing
Great day today in London representing the World Employment Confederation at TALiNT Partners roundtable and then visiting our UK member Recruitment & Employment Confederation to catch up on latest market developments #workingforyou #TheWorkWeWant Neil Carberry
Employers everywhere want people to work for them from anywhere - and recruiters need access to new pools of global talent. But managing complex, regionally diverse employment legislation is the biggest obstacle to growth in global recruitment. A record year for elections isn’t helping: delaying hiring activity and politicising workforce regulation. Compliance partners, contractor insurance and AI solutions are de-risking, differentiating & reducing cost. A growing global flexible workforce is creating demand for new talent solutions, from career management to workforce design. Back to the Haymarket Hotel this morning for TALiNT Partners Global Growth Lunch & Learn to explore international workforce trends and the opportunity for recruiters looking for profitable growth outside of the UK. It was a pleasure to have Denis Pennel World Employment Confederation on our speaker panel for the first time alongside our partner experts Greetje Brosens Workwell For Recruiters Amy Davies PGC Group Lizhen Cai Jove Insurance Stuart Johnson @Mercury and recruitment leaders Oliver Harris Page Outsourcing Paul Robinson VHR Global Technical Recruitment Great to see so many members and guests at our back to school event in a busy week for the industry from Green Park Rullion Matrix Cpl Robert Walters Danos Group Hudson RPO SF Recruitment IPE Ventures Jump Advisory Group Evenbreak E-Resourcing BVBA Instant Impact YPP Consulting HSBC WSS Associates Enablists Silver Stag Consulting Bridge of Hope Careers ORARA Group Feel like you’re missing out on the conversations that matter in a recruitment market that isn’t just challenging but changing?

We are excited to announce that we renewed our partnership with Lightcast! Lightcast became our go-to resource for labour markets analytics in 2023, and our partnership has already borne many fruits over that one year! In addition to regular interventions at WEC events like our WEConversations webinars or our annual World Employment Conference, and their participation in WEC's Economic Affairs Committee meetings, Lightcast has also produced a labour market intelligence tool tailored for WEC and its members: the Online Labour Market GPS. Special thanks to Marco Tucci and Mauro Pelucchi for leading those activities and engaging so actively with us and our members! Onwards to another year of great collaboration!
