REC writes to Alistair Darling urging him to build business confidence
Chancellor Alistair Darling has been urged by the REC to deliver a ‘confidence-building’ budget to support recruiters and other sectors dealing with the recession.
This comes on the back of the trade body’s survey which showed 70 per cent of recruiters had lost at least one fifth of business in the last quarter.
In a letter to the Chancellor ahead of this week’s budget, Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s chief executive Kevin Green offered him areas he should focusing his budget.
The areas included helping job creation through the tax regime and avoiding adding cost and bureaucracy through more employment regulation and procurement policy.
Kevin Green said: “We need to see Government doing all it can to support businesses through the recession and so safeguard the wealth creation part of our economy. We must jumpstart the jobs market and not add to the cost of employing people when many businesses are fighting to remain solvent.”
“With unemployment still rising, the focus needs to be on providing expert support and guidance for newly unemployed job seekers as well as on helping organisations train their staff and improve competitiveness. The Budget must provide a launch pad to boost the economy and labour market so that UK plc is in the best possible shape to take advantage of the upturn when it arrives.”
