The
Institute of Directors’ chief executive has warned that job losses will
continue next year, and could escalate.
In
an exclusive interview with Personnel Today, Andrew Main Wilson painted a bleak
picture of recession, falling recruitment in the private sector and increasing
employment legislation.
"We
will see a net loss of jobs over the next 13 months," he said, "even
without a major upsurge in terrorism. Should terrorism escalate on the global
stage, there will be an even sharper decline in job availability, so this is
going to be a very testing time."
Main
Wilson said talent management is one of the most critical services HR must
deliver and companies must ensure they keep their top staff.
