According to Martyn Kendrick, Lloyds TSB Commercial Area Director for the region, new business stagnated last month, while backlogs of work also fell sharply. These findings have fuelled concerns that Yorkshire will bear the brunt of a potential double-dip recession.
Scott Watson, human resources expert and managing director of Halifax based Summit Consulting and Training states that, while there is little which can be done to reverse the trend in the short term, employers should take a proactive, socially responsible stance in efforts to help their employees facing redundancy to return to employment as quickly as possible.
'It is very important for company bosses needing to cut jobs that they remember that corporate social responsibility is not just reserved for the good times, it is perhaps most needed and appreciated by employees when times are hard. This is why we are encouraging employers to invest a few pounds in ensuring that employees are supported when the time comes to make cuts.'
"To this end, we have developed a comprehensive video based online resource that provides expert coaching on the complete job hunting and recruitment process. This includes helping the user to identify hidden job opportunities, market themselves more effectively and even how to recover when they screw up during a job interview.'
Our decade of research has identified that in a crowded jobs market where recruiters are spoiled for choice, it isn't always the best candidate who is successful in securing the job, it is the candidate who is the best prepared and most convincing. Our comprehensive online resource, MyOnlineJobCoach.com provides a very cost-effective redundancy support solution for employers who are under pressure to cut costs but also want to take a responsible role in helping their employees secure their next job as quickly as possible.
