The cost of a FT place for a child under 2 is now over £14k a year according to research by Coram.

The most recent Pregnant Then Screwed research shows that 75% of mothers currently using childcare say it makes no financial sense for them to work after the cost.

Being able to reduce these costs is integral to women's participation in the labour market. The government help announced in the budget yesterday is a big step forward, providing support for the industry itself is offered, otherwise there will not be any facilities to claim the free 30 hours from!

The government has announced more help with childcare for some working parents in the Budget.

Look what we found in the move.....

'The Recruitment industry is the one industry that probably makes the biggest impact on people's lives. There is no greater pleasure than placing the right candidate with the skill set and attitude to perfectly fit a customer's requirement and it gives me great pleasure to see the really positive impact it has on our customers businesses. Dovetail has successfully placed tens of thousands of candidates in the 23rd years we have been trading, which has had a really positive impact on their career paths and lives.' - John O'Brien

Do you have employees that work part of the year? Did you know that since the Supreme Court ruling last year, those workers are entitled to a full year holiday allowance (5.6 weeks)

But the Supreme Court Judgment provides part-year workers with an advantage over their full-time colleagues. They get a full year’s holidays for a part-year’s work. Part-year workers also gain an advantage over part-time colleagues (i.e. staff who work all year).

For this reason the government has launched a consultation on how employers calculate holiday entitlement for part year workers. Employers have until 8 March 2023 to respond to the consultation and help inform the approach to be taken by the government when putting forward new legislation to parliament.

Lets talk Inductions!

Do you have an induction/onboarding process in place?

Various studies have shown that induction training directly affects employee attrition rate. It's a fact that more than 25% of new employees decide to stay with or quit an organisation in the first week of their stint so we know that the first few weeks on the job are critical to the engagement and success of the employee, and a determining factor of whether they stay in the role.

Check out our blog which covers the benefits of a good induction process and a useful checklist of what it should include.
