With 2023 almost behind us, businesses have navigated a landscape riddled with staffing challenges, notably marked by a persistent skills shortage and the uncertainty of economic changes. We have seen employers up against retention issues, high competition for specialised talent, and evolving employee expectations. In 2024, it’s likely employers will continue to be challenged by a tight labour market, and another year of business transformation, driven by tech advancement and evolving workplace dynamics.
