With the rise in financial pressures, more UK workers are taking on second jobs or side hustles. According to recent data, there's been a 9% increase in the number of people juggling multiple roles. While it’s impressive to see how people are adapting to economic challenges, this trend might throw a spanner in the works for employers, particularly around employee screening and management. As the job market changes, businesses may need to reassess their hiring processes and ensure they’re prepared for the challenges that come with managing a workforce that is increasingly juggling multiple jobs.

Did you know it's The International Week of Happiness at Work? Here’s a statistic to consider, 27% of employees have one or more bad workdays each week. Despite an increased focus on workplace happiness, there’s still a noticeable gap between how we feel at work compared to other areas of our lives. This is concerning since we spend such a significant amount of time at work. Happy employees are not only healthier but also more engaged and productive.
