The number of EU nationals leaving the UK.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/employmentandlabourmarket\/peopleinwork\/employmentandemployeetypes\/articles\/ukandnonukpeopleinthelabourmarket\/may2018\">Recent data from the ONS <\/a>suggests the number of EU nationals currently working in the UK has dropped to 2.2 Million, coining the term \u2018Brexodus\u2019, with highly skilled workers most likely to leave first. Some even reported that many of their EU workforce went home over summer and didn\u2019t return. Could this be due to personal reasons? Or because of a more \u2018hostile environment\u2019? Or the perceived difficulty to stay post-Brexit?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, HR must be clear and up-to-date on incoming legislation and have the information required to answer and ease the concerns of their EU workforce &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cipd.co.uk\/news-views\/brexit-hub\/workforce-trends\">almost half of whom (48%) <\/a>are expressing insecurity about their jobs post-Brexit. Actively communicating with employees deemed to be at risk of leaving how they can apply for settled status is one easy step all organisations can take to help retain key employees. The Government\u2019s recent change to Settlement Status fees will certainly help too.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Recruitment Landscape<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another challenge facing HR is large volume recruitment of lower skilled workers into \u2018hard to fill\u2019 roles. Something a significant amount of organisations in the UK depend on, with some sectors expecting to make enormous adjustments to cope with the growing issue.<\/p>\n<p>To deal with this particular challenge, HR and recruitment teams must adjust their thinking. They can no longer afford to turn away individuals who don\u2019t have the right skills, particularly when recruiting for \u2018hard to fill\u2019 roles. Instead there needs to be a change in mindset, namely, upskilling and training individuals so that they have the necessary hard and soft skills required both now and in the future. Likewise, looking at the overall employee value proposition (EVP) to see what else could be offered to make organisations more attractive to potential employees is something every HR Professional agreed was a key priority.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Readiness for a Post-Brexit Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whatever the final outcome of Brexit, it is clear that workforce planning will be business imperative.<\/p>\n<p>Organisations must take action now \u2013 not wait until 29<sup>th<\/sup> March \u2013 to proactively prepare their workforce, ensuring the right skills and labour are in place to meet business objectives, whatever challenges and changes may occur in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To get hold of a copy of our &#8217;10 ways Brexit will impact mobility&#8217; article please contact:<a href=\"mailto:insights@intoo.com\"> insights@intoo.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Click below to register your interest for upcoming INTOO events:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"mailto:events@intoo.com\">I&#8217;d like to find out more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is your organisation ready for a post-Brexit world?
