The new ‘People for Business’ programme will provide focused help for small firms to find, hire and retain talent to fulfil their growth ambitions
Small Business Britain is teaming up with the global hiring platform Indeed to help small firms solve people challenges, as entrepreneurs increasingly cite the need for skilled workers as a barrier to growth and a source of stress.This will consist of a series of free webinars on recruitment and people management topics, as well as sharing research and insight on best practice from successful entrepreneurs.
This comes as early findings from Small Business Britain and Indeed’s research shows that half of business owners say not being able to hire the right staff stops their business growing and 59% admit it puts pressure on them personally. “With the UK’s continuing tumultuous economic background, it is not always straightforward for small businesses to identify, hire and manage staff. We’re excited to offer this new programme to help entrepreneurs overcome these barriers, alongside exploring how they can lead the way on the future of work through embracing innovations such as AI and flexible working.”
“These inefficiencies are costly to businesses and frustrating for candidates, and as our research shows, can take a personal toll on owners.
