The CIPD gleefully endorses the £338 million investment allocated by the government towards their Connect to Work program
The UK government has announced a new strategy aimed at helping certain groups of individuals enter the workforce, with a particular focus on those who face disadvantages in the labor market. This strategy, designed to boost overall economic productivity, targets individuals with disabilities and those aged 50+.
The strategy involves offering incentives for businesses to hire these specified groups. The local government is also focusing on joining up support to build the workforce's skills, with a view to creating a more inclusive and productive labor market.
One key aspect of the strategy is the targeted support offered to businesses. This includes resources and guidance to help them adapt their workplaces and processes to accommodate the needs of their new employees. The strategy also provides training and development opportunities for these employees to ensure they can make a positive contribution to the business.
The UK economy is facing a challenge due to economic inactivity, with many people unable to find work or unable to work due to various barriers. This new strategy aims to address this issue by helping these individuals into work, thereby boosting the overall productivity of the economy.
In addition to the UK, other countries are also taking steps to address this issue. For example, in Germany, the organization implementing the nationwide "Single Contact Points for Employers" according to § 185 a SGB IX, addressing vocational rehabilitation and participation, has made an additional investment in the specified period to promote employment. This investment focuses more on individualized placement systems for people facing complex barriers in the labor market.
With this new strategy, the UK government is taking a proactive approach to addressing the issue of economic inactivity and creating a more inclusive and productive labor market. By offering support to both individuals and businesses, the government hopes to help those who face disadvantages in the labor market enter the workforce, boosting overall economic productivity in the process.
