🏘 Housing 🏨 Alternative assets 🌲 ESG These were the 3 main areas of focus our team saw from the talks they attended and the conversations they had with business leaders at UKREiiF 2024. With the promise of many investors, developers, and operators at the event being ‘next year we hope to say what we’ve done, rather than what we want to do’, our recap piece of UKREiiF is essential reading for those across the built environment who work in these areas.

Annually, the Low Pay Commission (LPC) calls for evidence to guide their recommendations on the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW). Whilst calculations and algorithms play a role in determining these rates, the Commission also considers labour market trends, providing a platform for stakeholders to comment on what constitutes affordable and equitable pay. This year's consultation spotlights the rates for younger workers and apprentices. On 1st April 2024 the NMW Youth Rate increased by 14.8% for 18-20 year olds - that's still only £8.60; the Apprentice Rate increased by 21.2% - to £6.40. With the skills gap apparent across many roles in construction and real estate, and getting the next generation into the sectors through education programmes and internships never more important, this is a chance to contribute your thoughts on these and more changes and how they could influence your hiring decisions. Submit your views via the below before the consultation closes tomorrow, 7th June. https://lnkd.in/diK4fH9J #LowPayCommission #Apprenticeship #Construction #RealEstate #Recruitment

In the past month, we've seen the UK come out of recession and have had a general election called. The result? Greater confidence in the market earlier than expected, meaning more projects in construction beginning, and more people required to work on these projects. The effect on recruitment here is that the longer an organisation leaves it to hire, the greater the competition will be for the top-tier talent, resulting in a sometimes protracted recruitment process, and often, an over-budget hire. Associate Director Daniel Scott illustrates in this piece why now is the time to start working on your vacancies, and how a specialist Construction recruiter can help you fill them quickly >> https://lnkd.in/e7inyc4W #construction #realestate #property #surveyor #projectmanagement #recruitment
