A recent study, by outdoor education experts Inspiring Learning, reveals a significant gap in soft skills among young people entering the workforce including communication, resilience, and problem-solving. When questioned on what skills employers want to see more of from employees entering the workforce, ‘soft skills’ outweighed hard skills considerably. For example, employers valued teamwork (55%) and communication (52%) nearly twice as much as computer skills (26%). To what extent does your organisation upskill employees in soft skills? https://bit.ly/4dbaQMa #ReedTalentSolutions #SoftSkills #GenZ #WorkforceDevelopment #FutureOfWork

A survey by Deloitte has found nearly a third (31%) of UK employees who use generative AI for work, access tools they pay for themselves. The survey showed that 48% of employees who use AI for work used free, publicly available generative AI tools. A further 62% reported thinking that either a 'great' or 'fair' amount of UK employees use generative AI without their employer’s permission, and 40% said employees didn't see any risk in doing so. To what extent does your organisation regulate its use of AI and inform employees of the risks involved? https://bit.ly/4eau8SN #ReedTalentSolutions #AI #Employer #HR

Great insight from our Chairman and CEO James Reed CBE here - thanks for sharing Dries De Coster. #RecruitersInCarsGettingCoffee #Innovation #Entrepreneurialism #Success #Reward

Had to laugh… pull over for a pit stop only to be greeted by a younger, pinker version of myself. Our late summer ad campaign has begun. Look out for some new characters and of course many new opportunities. At this time of year a lot of people returning from the holidays are thinking about a fresh start. With prices going up and now we’re told taxes soon to go up yet again, the quickest way to secure a pay rise can be through a new job. Our latest Reed.co.uk data shows that pay is rising fastest in the hopitality, education and construction sectors, all areas where skill shortages are acute. Last year Bloomberg reported that successful Reed applicants achieved an average pay rise of 10%, “well above the increases reported in the official data.” #lovemondays #lifeatreed #improvinglivesthroughwork #since1960 #PhilCo
