Impellam is now aiming to place  50% to 60% of UK aeronautical engineering graduates through its Recruit, Train, Deploy solution.

Creating a pipeline of high quality candidates

Developing skilled engineers

Enhancing diversity

Strengthening operations

Bridging the skills gap

<h2>The Challenge</h2>
<p>The aviation industry has faced immense challenges in recent years. From the impact of the pandemic to a shrinking talent pool due to political volatility and retiring engineers, the available skilled talent was reduced. &nbsp;There was a significant skills gap created, and with growing pressure, the demand for engineers to maintain aircrafts increased as travel resumed. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Impellam always take a customer-centric approach to resourcing talent, and that proved particularly significant when tackling <strong>Virgin Atlantic&rsquo;s</strong> severe engineering shortfall.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Working closely with <strong>Virgin Atlantic</strong>, Impellam established that the traditional apprenticeship pathway was insufficient in meeting long-term needs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p><strong>Impellam </strong>developed an extensive programme to identify the next generation of Aeronautical Engineers graduating from universities across the UK, talent scouting them over the course of their final year. The solution, titled &lsquo;<strong>Recruit, Train, Deploy</strong>&rsquo; set up by Impellam was used to empower early and experienced talent through comprehensive training and development; addressing <strong>Virgin&rsquo; Atlantic's</strong> engineering skills gaps and enhancing the organisation with fresh perspectives.</p>

<p><a title="Addressing the Early Careers Conundrum" href="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/i8lal8jecr0z76y92hp3fjdc5a4k" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PDF Version</strong></a></p>
<p>The specialist skillsets of professionals within STEM have always been in high demand. But with an ever-widening skills gap across UK industries, competition for talent is as fierce as it has ever been. How organisations respond, to preserve and develop talent within their workforce now and for the future is key.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As such, the importance of finding and nurturing the next generation of STEM talent through engaging, impactful early careers initiatives is huge &ndash; as is making investments in them and developing the workforce of the future, now.</p>
<p>As we embark on 2025, aside from planned changes to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fenews.co.uk/skills/keir-starmer-announces-new-foundation-apprenticeship-at-the-labour-party-conference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apprenticeships</a> and the launch of <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/skills-england" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Skills England</a> announced in the Employment Rights Bill and the 2024 Autumn Budget, the UK government is also set to introduce measures to inspire younger people and open avenues into work and future careers. It was recently announced that <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/government-considering-subsidised-jobs-to-get-young-people-into-work-as-shocking-figure-reveals-scale-of-crisis-13256281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subsidised jobs</a> are being explored to address the number of youths currently not in employment, education or training (NEET), for example.</p>
<p>Engaging with early careers talent isn&rsquo;t without its challenges though. An evolving demographic, difficulty balancing a company&rsquo;s talent requirements and potential budget restrictions, and disparity between skill demand and availability, are all barriers to overcome.&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI is also significantly transforming early talent recruitment, making the process more efficient, personalised and data-driven for employers and candidates alike, while simultaneously raising potential challenges including those around transparency and trust.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, how can business, HR and procurement leaders tackle the early careers conundrum and create a more sustainable workforce?&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/828s319dwmoh8u55yxeol5xrr5d7" alt="" width="598" height="398"></p>
<h2>Definining early talent</h2>
<p>To begin tackling early careers challenges across STEM, first we need to put right the mismatch in terms of how &lsquo;early careers&rsquo; is defined. &nbsp;As <strong>Darren Topping, Director of Solutions &amp; Insight at Impellam Group</strong> recently explained:&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s easy to think early careers will mean graduates or school and college leavers, but it doesn&rsquo;t. Those in this group include anyone starting a new career ladder or role. Some people fall into the trap of thinking of just young fresh-faced graduate with a certain level of education, when what we actually mean is someone starting a new career, regardless of any other element.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This sentiment is echoed by our early careers experts across all Impellam brands.&nbsp;<strong>Chris Blackburn, Director of Skills Group</strong>, added, &ldquo;If we think about the work we&rsquo;ve delivered at Impellam under the early careers umbrella, we&rsquo;ve engaged with prison leavers, those transitioning out of military as well as those moving across sectors. We&rsquo;ve also collaborated with Lorien to retrain people in digital skills. Every single one of these individuals fall into the early careers category, and employers need to be aware of the full breadth of this demographic to really maximise the opportunities that come with engaging them.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>The benefits &ndash; and necessity &ndash; of engaging with these groups</h2>
<p>The current state of play across industries, many of which are coping with the conflicting challenges of high productivity demands and dwindling workforces, is putting emphasis on the need to commit to early careers talent.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As&nbsp;<strong>Blackburn</strong> explained, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re facing low unemployment &ndash; the lowest for 40 years &ndash; while vacancy rates remain high. The UK lost 350,000 people because of Brexit and by 2032 it&rsquo;s predicted that there will be a million less children in school due to declining birth rates. Workforce sustainability is under threat if employers don&rsquo;t focus on building a thriving early talent community. The fight for these individuals is going to become more intense in the coming years because of where we are as a nation, so getting it right now really is crucial.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The benefits extend beyond the need for specific skills, though. A drive to make workforces more diverse, to provide career opportunities for all, is high on many agendas. According to&nbsp;<strong>SRG Account Director, Laura Docherty,</strong> engagement with early careers talent has the power to promote diversity across industries: &ldquo;For those businesses that really get their early careers talent strategy right, the potential is significant. These individuals are often the changemakers within a business. They bring diversity of thought to the table and they challenge and question the norm, all of which adds significant value to day-to-day business operations.&rdquo;</p>
<p>As such, early careers strategies are being intrinsically linked to EDI, a trend that will no doubt continue well into the future. The benefits of this are multi-fold, also enabling the ability to not only hire the very best talent available but give them every reason to stay with an organisation long-term too. Employers that are developing the future generation of the workforce will be the ones to hold their loyalty, as&nbsp;<strong>Topping</strong>, one of our own long standing early careers recruits explained:</p>
<p>&ldquo;Attrition is often a lot lower when you&rsquo;ve been involved in bringing someone into the profession or industry. I&rsquo;ve been with Impellam 16 years, and you do have a greater sense of loyalty when you start your career with a business and evolve with them. We also can&rsquo;t overlook the sheer value to a business of someone who is built and shaped exactly for your company, versus someone who&rsquo;s not.&rdquo;</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/g6fmjuwiqpq65elf07vokyt8sib8" alt="" width="598" height="398"></p>
<h2>How to get it right?&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Talking about the objectives and benefits of early careers is simple. Implementing strategies to make the very most of them isn&rsquo;t quite as easy. However, with the right approach, finding, hiring and nurturing the next generation of talent, their potential and skills can lay the foundations for the future of STEM.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Promoting and supporting a shift in mindsets and processes around hiring is a must. Early careers talent will likely not have the skills, experience or possibly the qualifications that would have historically made a candidate stand out from the crowd. Moving to skills-based hiring and assessments can look beyond this, though, as SRG&rsquo;s UK Early Careers &amp; Industrial Placement Programme lead for GSK &amp; ViiV Healthcare,&nbsp;<strong>Holly Hall</strong>, explained:</p>
<p><br>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s important to explore new perspectives when it comes to recruiting and assessing early careers. Employers shouldn&rsquo;t simply focus on the standard CV and cover letter as this can be detrimental to success. There are so many assessment tools, such as gamification, to make your process stand out. We&rsquo;ve seen at GSK how breaking down barriers can really work. They&rsquo;re not asking for people to have a set grade or be on track for a certain qualification.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;There may be individuals who are fantastic from a technical or potential point of view, but they don&rsquo;t have that support network to help teach them how to write a CV or cover letter, for example. Removing this really opens up that opportunity. Instead, the focus should be on strength-based interviews and asking the right questions, including scenario-based ones, to identify if they truly are passionate about working for the company or in the industry. It does take a shift in mindsets for hiring and recruitment though. You do have to go on a bit of a journey to reshape how applicants are vetted, engaged and interviewed.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Timing is also crucial to success. The earlier in the transition process that you engage with early careers talent, the better, particularly as competition for people grows. &nbsp;According to <strong>Blackburn</strong>, this forward-facing approach has worked well for those firms and sectors that have a strong early careers track record;</p>
<p>&ldquo;If we look at our best successes in recruit, train, deploy, it&rsquo;s primarily aviation businesses. When a plane is ordered, it takes up to eight years for it to be delivered. That means organisations in this industry must sort their workforce plan a lot further in advance than many other sectors. They are investing now to be able to meet future talent demand in business-critical skillsets.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Considering and shaping the applicant journey is also crucial. Business, HR and procurement leaders are aware of the potentially damaging impact that a negative experience can have on people and, as a result, the future hiring and retention of talent. It is no different with early careers talent. However, given the now complex mix of those that fall into this category, it is imperative to consider tailored approaches to meet the expectations and needs of a broad and diverse pool of people.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Younger demographics often need a lot more support and more hands around them during the recruitment process than someone with prior corporate experience,&rdquo;&nbsp;<strong>Docherty</strong> commented. &ldquo;You may have someone that has never gone through an interview or job application process, so they don&rsquo;t know what to expect, or what good looks like. For these individuals it&rsquo;s important to make sure that you&rsquo;re keeping them fully informed to keep them engaged. What we don&rsquo;t want to see is people drop out because they don&rsquo;t understand what&rsquo;s expected.&rdquo;</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/1l58psmbguvqtgn2u0sp3okqh32y" alt="" width="598" height="398"></p>
<h2>AI in early careers hiring</h2>
<p>Artificial intelligence is both a tool to make early career resourcing more efficient, and a potential challenge to overcome at the same time. AI is becoming a part of everyday lives both in and out of work, and that extends to the recruitment process. According to Willo&rsquo;s 2024 Hiring Humans research, employers are broadly open to using the tools themselves, with 45% believing that there&rsquo;s a place for AI in hiring, if used cautiously and ethically. Most talent leaders expect to use, or are already using AI in some way, yet the majority have some concerns about AI&rsquo;s ethical implications and strategic planning. We also know candidates already use AI in the job search and interview process, raising further questions about candidate experience.</p>
<p>While attention is often given to the time saving benefits that AI brings to companies, it can be a useful tool for engaging early careers talent too, as&nbsp;<strong>Hall</strong> explained: &ldquo;For this group in particular, if someone sees that a company isn&rsquo;t using AI itself or is banning the use of it, it could turn candidates off from applying. Data from Arctic Shores shows that 50% of students indicated that they would think a company is behind the times if it banned GenAI while a third wouldn&rsquo;t want to work for the business as a result. It is important to be mindful of how your decision on AI usage will impact your access to talent.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This particular issue has made headlines, with reports of <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/03/02/big-four-accountant-ban-grad-using-ai-write-job-application/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accountancy firms</a> banning the use of AI in job applications receiving widespread criticism. While an equilibrium is yet to be found, some of those that make up the early careers demographic are already using AI and expect to longer term. According to regular pulse surveys commissioned by Arctic Shores, use and proficiency of GenAI is rapidly accelerating and 88% of recent graduates use GenAI regularly &ndash; up from 73% in October 2023, while 47% expect to use GenAI in the application process not only for tailored applications or CVs, but also for prompts and responses during interviews. From a social mobility perspective, allowing the use of artificial intelligence can also be a support tool, particularly for those with little to no prior experience of CV writing or interviews.&nbsp;</p>
<p>How AI is used in early careers recruitment is an evolving process, but, as&nbsp;<strong>Docherty</strong> explains, the best starting point is to set clear boundaries; &ldquo;We have seen varying levels of acceptance of AI in businesses. Some are completely ruling it out and taking the very strong stance that individuals will be considered to be cheating if they use AI. Then you have others with more of a balanced approach that recognise that people are using AI to some extent. What we need to see is organisations defining very clearly what their level of acceptance is when it comes to using AI in the application process and, indeed, in day-to-day work environments. Until that happens, there will be a potential mismatch and lack of understanding on what&rsquo;s acceptable and what isn&rsquo;t between talent and employers.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Making early careers recruitment work for you</h2>
<p>The need for and benefit of a strong early careers talent programme is undeniable, yet many businesses are yet to truly capitalise on the potential of this community. There could be a fear of both the unknown and of being too far behind the competition, but in reality, the majority of companies are in the same position.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moving the dial in the right direction now is crucial, especially to get ahead of the competition. Planning and implementing early careers strategies can be a tricky navigation, but thankfully there are experts, like Impellam and its supporting brands, that have the knowledge and connections to drive success.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The workplace of today isn&rsquo;t the workplace of yesterday. And by tomorrow, it could all change yet again. On top of external political and socio-economic factors, the constant evolution of job roles and the way people work within them, changing employee and employer expectations, and technological advancements contribute to what has become a very difficult-to-predict employment landscape.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, more than ever before, professionals across permanent and contingent workforces are weighing career moves more carefully, conscious of the potential for unpredictability.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Employers must respond. Not only to attract the best talent available, but to retain that high calibre talent too. It is vital to devise and deliver a powerful Employer Value Proposition (EVP), and a company culture that promotes growth, development, and stability.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/yo5v2syjsafdsp2dxyhr7812c2qq" alt="" width="598" height="398"></p>
<h2>An evolving landscape</h2>
<p>While we are no longer experiencing such a candidate driven market, it is &ndash; and will continue to be &ndash; a competitive talent market for the most in-demand roles, particularly as skills shortages grow. As a result, an organisation&rsquo;s culture and EVP must be agile and resilient enough to react.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Making a company stand out as an employer of choice, through the opportunities, rewards, development, and environment it provides for people to be the best version of themselves, can be the difference between not only finding and hiring talent, but also ensuring they stay long-term.</p>
<p>As <strong>Impellam North America&rsquo;s Senior Director of Enterprise Growth &amp; Strategy, Esther Swaty</strong> explains, &ldquo;Culture and candidate experience are more important than ever. Just because a brand had limited attrition last year, doesn&rsquo;t mean they will next year.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Similarly, <strong>Adam Barratt, Guidant Global UK&rsquo;s Head of Talent Marketing</strong>, believes &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a new energy with companies now; they are hiring for transformation and preparing for what the future could be. The best talent want to be a part of that, so you really can&rsquo;t afford to have a bad culture or poor EVP. If another company has a better one, it will cost you good people.&rdquo;</p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve seen an array of workforce trends that procurement teams have had to react to. While &ldquo;quiet quitting&rdquo; may be tapering off, we see more movement in talent pools on the horizon, and the impacts could be felt as early as now.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the potential of another period of mass talent movement looming, organisations need to be prepared and proactive in their approach to attracting and retaining individuals. Whatever their needs and goals, the approach must be centred on the right employer branding.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Workers are looking for something deeper than a paycheque; they&rsquo;re after purpose, something they can connect with, and the chance to build careers with an organisation. The changing needs of the emerging generations are amplifying this desire,&rdquo; explains <strong>Guidant Global Vice President Client Solutions, Scott Waletzke</strong>. Indeed, a recent <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/10/14/gen-z-cares-more-about-purpose-than-paycheck/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deloitte</a> report on Gen Z revealed that this demographic values purpose over pay.</p>
<p><strong>Darren Topping, Director of Enterprise Solutions, Insight &amp; Partnerships at Lorien &amp; Impellam UK</strong>, echoes this statement: &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s employees, particularly newer generations to the workforce, are digital natives who expect consumer-grade experiences in their work environment. By harnessing data-driven insights, we can help our customers to adapt the values of the emerging workforce, focusing on purpose, diversity, and innovation.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>The impact of strong cultures and EVP&nbsp;</h2>
<p>We&rsquo;ve long been advocates of strong employee culture and the impact it has, from reducing attrition rates to increasing loyalty. But there&rsquo;s so much more value that can be delivered and demonstrated with a strong EVP.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Empowering people to showcase their talents and be the best version of themselves not only promotes a happier, more motivated workforce, but also has a direct effect on bottom line results and productivity.</p>
<p>- &nbsp; &nbsp;Research from <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/global/Documents/About-Deloitte/gx-core-beliefs-and-culture.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deloitte</a> shows 88% of employees believe a distinct workplace culture is important to business success.<br>- &nbsp; &nbsp;According to a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/benjaminlaker/2021/04/23/culture-is-a-companys-single-most-powerful-advantage-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a> article, companies with a strong culture have reported a 4x increase in revenue growth.<br>- &nbsp; &nbsp;The same piece cited evidence that businesses on Fortune&rsquo;s &ldquo;Best Companies to Work For&rdquo; list see significantly higher annual returns.</p>
<p>Promoting authenticity, trust and loyalty creates a sense of optimism too. According to a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/workforce/the-value-of-authentic-organizational-culture.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report from PwC</a>, employees who felt that their behaviours and their company culture were aligned, were more positive that their company will still be in business in ten years. They were also more likely to bring innovative ideas to the team.</p>
<h2>Measuring the impact of a negative EVP</h2>
<p>A responsible organisation looks beyond its achievements. It is crucial to understand where risks have been negated through a strong EVP and authentic culture. &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s talent are more than potential employees and workers; they&rsquo;re also customers,&rdquo; explains <strong>Impellam Group&rsquo;s SVP of Marketing, North America, Tracy Monsour</strong>. &ldquo;Companies must consider that candidates are consumers as well, so the candidate experience is more important than ever.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The impact of talent pool experiences on consumer behaviours is highlighted by a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/talent-acquisition/bad-candidate-experience-cost-virgin-media-5m-annually-and-how-they-turned-that-around" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virgin Media case study</a> demonstrating the direct link between a bad candidate experience and millions of dollars in lost revenue. This is a real-life example of how crucial it is to have a culture aligned to what talent want. And it&rsquo;s not just linked to customer buying patterns either. In the retail sector for example, global powerhouse brands such as <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/some-investors-demand-change-lvmh-after-probe-into-dior-contractors-2024-07-23/">Dior</a> and <a href="https://www.thefashionlaw.com/visibility-is-central-to-a-successful-supply-chain-heres-what-brands-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nike</a> have experienced reduced stakeholder investment in recent years due to claims of unethical labour practices.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/cxic295vhwu9k0l5q95urz180p3h" alt="" width="598" height="398"></p>
<h2>But what does a &lsquo;good&rsquo; culture and EVP look like?</h2>
<p>Cultures and, in turn, EVPs, evolve as the expectations of people evolve. Workplaces and their workforces change as new people with new ideas, beliefs, wants, and needs become part of the working environment, and failure to adapt risks setting an organisation up to fail.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond the experience and insights of people, an increasingly technology-driven world is presenting new ways to evaluate and evolve an EVP, <strong>Darren Topping</strong> goes on to explain, &ldquo;AI is beginning to revolutionise the way we deliver the message of our employer value proposition to the job market, enabling us to create a more personalised, inclusive, and responsive employee experience.&rdquo;</p>
<p>There isn&rsquo;t a &lsquo;one size fits all&rsquo; approach to creating a strong culture and EVP. The time spent getting it right &ndash; conveying a company as people-focused and a place to thrive &ndash; is time well spent. As <strong>Sarah Jane King, Impellam Group HR Director</strong> commented, &ldquo;To truly engage your workforce, including your contingent workforce, your EVP must be authentic, adaptable and multi-faceted.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>Don&rsquo;t leave the contingent workforce behind</h2>
<p>The contingent workforce is, and will continue to be, key to business flexibility and transformation. Just a few short years ago, it would be common to see employers approaching EVP development and cultural assessment purely from the perspective of the permanent workforce. As <strong>Esther Swaty </strong>explains,</p>
<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;Not everyone has paid as much attention to their contingent workforce as they perhaps should have. Encouragingly, however, many companies are recognising this. Investing in contingent will be a catalyst to growth but contingent talent pools are still often treated as a separate entity, even by those firms with an extensive history of hiring this workforce.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This is beginning to shift. There&rsquo;s a growing recognition that employer value propositions need to encompass contingent workers too. Employers are tapping into this segment of the workforce in growing numbers across the globe, and while contingent talent may only be with a company for a limited period, the impact they have on the culture is long-lasting.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Alexa Bradbury, Impellam&rsquo;s Director of Marketing, UK &amp; Europe</strong> believes "The rise of the contingent workforce is reshaping how work gets done, driven by HR and procurement working more collaboratively than ever before. As organisations embrace blended workforce models, technology enables seamless integration, ensuring that all workers &ndash; regardless of role or status, shared values. Agility and alignment are now essential for success, creating consistency across every aspect of the business.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Contingent resources also have the potential to return time and again to a business. Ensuring they are factored into a proposition will aid continued engagement with this core talent pool (which is particularly important given the role they play in alleviating the impact of skills shortages).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mindsets also have to shift to be more relevant for the blended workforce. According to <strong>Adam Barratt</strong>, &ldquo;History teaches us that the term &lsquo;career&rsquo; is associated with permanent workforces, but this is an archaic view. Contractors have careers too; they have simply chosen a different route. This must be recognised to ensure cultures truly speak to these audiences.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>The perils of misconstruing corporate culture&nbsp;</h2>
<p>While culture must reflect and respond to the wants and needs of the workforce, it is important that authenticity remains at the heart of everything.&nbsp;<br>Aside from the fact that attrition rates will increase, the longer-term impact of not creating the right EVP can&rsquo;t be ignored. In today&rsquo;s socially connected landscape, people feel more empowered to publicly call out brands that have mis-sold the business and will often do so.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And with a growing reliance on the contingent workforce, a negative or mis-directed culture risks damaging the chance of re-engaging them again, while also negatively impacting your reputation with wider contingent talent pools.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s also important not to forget about the power of your leavers&rsquo; voice, as <strong>Sarah-Jane King, Impellam Group HR Director</strong>, explains, "Understanding why people leave an organisation is as important as engaging those who stay. Exits aren't always negative; they can be positive transitions that offer valuable insights. By listening to leavers, building alumni relationships, and learning from their experiences, we gain a well-rounded view of the employee lifecycle, and can enrich our people strategy.&rdquo;</p>

<h2>Getting the value from your EVP</h2>
<p>Your EVP is an ever-evolving element. It will, in essence, never be complete. That doesn&rsquo;t mean that it is wrong, or you&rsquo;ve failed, but rather that you are on the right path to meet the challenges of the future.&nbsp;</p>
<p>An effective EVP taps into the pride of your workforce, recognising and rewarding it to inspire even greater performance. When employees feel truly proud to work for your organisation, they become your most powerful advocates. Those that master the art of culture and EVP will reap the rewards &ndash; with productivity and business resilience &ndash; especially as &ldquo;new world of work&rdquo; continues to change.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>EVP considerations</h2>
<p>The elements of culture and EVP vary, but as a starting point at least it is vital to consider:</p>
<p>- &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Authenticity is key</strong>: You might be able to talk the talk, but talent communities will judge you on whether or not you can walk the walk. People need to truly feel a part of the organisation &ndash; whether they are part of your contingent or your permanent workforce &ndash; and that requires having a &lsquo;golden thread&rsquo; of authenticity throughout your culture. Workers themselves have indicated the value they place on this, with a study from the <a href="https://www.inclusiveleadership.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/The-Importance-of-Authenticity-in-the-Workplace.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Institute for Inclusive Leadership </a>revealing that 90% of people value authenticity at work.</p>
<p>- &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Be unique</strong>: A culture and EVP that doesn&rsquo;t stand out not only has limited impact, but it also screams &lsquo;inauthentic&rsquo; to talent communities. The language and tone need to resonate with your talent. At Impellam, for example, we have our own unique &lsquo;Virtuoso behaviours&rsquo; that our brands and people recognise and use themselves.&nbsp;</p>
<p>- &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Bring your people along on the journey</strong>: Successful propositions are based on legacy and fact. If you are listening to your people and creating a two-way dialogue, it will be much more effective. Our Impellam Virtuoso Alliance, for example, creates a platform for our leadership to hear from our people directly, stay close to customers, get feedback on upcoming strategic initiatives, and involve everyone in the business. If we look at brands that have a strong culture and EVP, there&rsquo;s a clear focus on people steering the working environment. Outdoor clothing company, <a href="https://www.wework.com/ideas/professional-development/creativity-culture/what-is-company-culture-and-why-its-important#h-company-culture-examples-top-places-that-have-been-successful-in-creating-a-unique-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patagonia</a>, for example, puts the power in the hands of staff to set hours and safeguard their own work/life balance.&nbsp;</p>
<p>- &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Be versatile</strong>: While there needs to be some consistency in your EVP, it&rsquo;s not a one-size-fits-all thing. It&rsquo;s crucial to really understand your workforce and create a proposition that speaks to the unique needs of all.&nbsp;</p>
<p>- &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Feedback</strong>: One of the core components of a strong culture and EVP is the ability to share with your talent community what is being changed and why. Telling your people that you listened, and are taking action, will strengthen connections and your culture. Again, if we consider brands that have created a strong Employer Value Proposition, feedback is incorporated. <a href="https://harver.com/blog/employee-value-proposition-examples/#Yelp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yelp</a>, for example, uses its own five-star review business proposition with its workforce.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Organisations are feeling the effects of a fiercely competitive market and evolving candidate expectations. Simultaneously, the workforce and talent solutions industry is navigating huge changes accelerated by global economic forces and digital transformation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here at Impellam, customer centricity is our North Star. To deepen our understanding and make sure we are delivering exactly what our customers need, we spoke to more than one hundred of our biggest clients from around the world and some key themes emerged:</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&middot;<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span>Perhaps unsurprisingly, 50% told us that cost efficiency combined with cost transparency is their key concern for 2024 - cost savings, cost avoidance and budgetary control are king.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&middot;<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span>As a result of the changing markets and ever-evolving tech there is an increasing need for workforce solutions to be agile and able to react quickly, as well as a steely focus on finding the best talent in the market.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&middot;<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span>Then there is the &lsquo;tech factor&rsquo; &ndash; how tech can be used to improve efficiencies and how organisations can find the talent needed to implement the latest developments that will provide a competitive advantage.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on these findings, here are some important workforce solutions designed to help you to manage costs and build better a business.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>1. Exploring more ways to manage costs with expert delivery</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">The rapidity of technological change (including increases in cyber threats) means that many organisations have had to face an inconvenient truth: they don&rsquo;t have the skills to drive the technology changes needed to compete, or survive, in the new normal. For smaller organisations that can pivot quickly, the outlook isn&rsquo;t so sobering. But larger organisations, that are struggling to adapt their legacy tech to rapid change, are feeling the urgency &ndash; especially when it comes to competing with those disruptive startups. This means that finding more ways to attract the skills needed to get work done &ndash; especially change and transformation work &ndash; is now front and centre for many organisations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;The hunt is on for delivery partners who can support organisations in this time of need &ndash; and what organisations are looking for has changed. For many businesses the &lsquo;hire and hope&rsquo; solution of contractors is becoming too risky &ndash; both in terms of cost and performance. This is why we&rsquo;re seeing a shift to buying outcomes, or deliverables, gaining momentum globally.&rdquo; &mdash; Steve Corbett, Client Services Director, Impellam UK&rsquo;s Science, Technology, and Engineering (STEM) brands.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Outcome-driven projects (or deliverables-based Statements of Work) with a trusted partner can provide a more competitive process for buying services, potentially offering far better value for money. Businesses get a team of experts who are experienced in delivering similar projects, along with the agility to pivot left or right mid-project. Clients get a skilled tech team with the horsepower needed to get the project done properly, along with experienced project managers. Crucially, they have the peace of mind thanks to knowing that if a partner doesn&rsquo;t deliver as agreed, they don&rsquo;t get paid.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2>2. The rise of Direct Sourcing</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">While many organisations have strong supplier partnerships, they are also looking to increase the proportion of direct hires to gain greater control of their talent pool. As a result, Advanced Direct Sourcing by Managed Service Providers (MSPs), is set to become a key trend.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Direct Sourcing involves leveraging your employer brand to attract, curate and engage exclusive talent pools to support contingent hiring needs and the easy re-deployment of valuable workers. Alongside the wish for greater control of the talent pool, and the ongoing need to make cost savings, there are other factors contributing to this trend. One is data. Hiring and talent data can be too cumbersome to interpret or leverage, but a Direct Sourcing partner can give organisations the data they need, in a way that&rsquo;s simple and actionable, helping keep talent communities buoyant and engaged. This boosts the efficiency, agility and speed of hiring processes &ndash; without sacrificing the quality of hires &ndash; so helping address talent shortages in this increasingly tight labour market.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;We expect more organisations will leverage their employer brand to attract and engage contingent labour through technology-enabled talent communities and direct sourcing. This will pave the way for a more integrated approach to workforce solutions.&rdquo; &mdash; Sara Gordon, SVP Client Relationships, Guidant Global.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">The right MSP will offer a cutting-edge CRM and recruitment automation technology to reduce admin and drive efficiency when it comes to identifying and nurturing communities of talent. This technology leverages AI and Machine Learning for superior candidate matching and personalised automation at scale, while providing a single platform to manage the complete lifecycle of a candidate, from engagement and placement to offboarding and redeployment. Crucially, it frees up time for recruiters to work on all important elements like relationship building. For many organisations, the optimum approach is to mix recruitment supply chain and Direct Sourcing. However, this can lead to complexity. Again, this is where an expert MSP partner can add value by managing suppliers &ndash; especially in the realm of technology hiring where the competition is fierce.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;The trend towards a blended workforce can create complexity, which needs to be supported and solved. We recommend finding a trusted advisor to guide you in achieving the optimal mix of fulfilment &ndash; a mix that combines supply chain and Direct Sourcing. And a specialist MSP can be invaluable when it comes to providing STEM expertise. It&rsquo;s the smarter, faster, better approach to building a custom and scalable talent pipeline. And don&rsquo;t forget to flex your EVP!&rdquo; &mdash; Alexa Bradbury, Global Marketing Director, Impellam Global Managed Services.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Last but not least, a strong Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is crucial in attracting a contingent workforce, especially given that around 40% of today&rsquo;s global workforce is non-permanent. We recommend approaching your EVP as a framework, not a fixed entity. Create numerous pillars for competitive differentiation, such as project-based work, diversity or innovation. And to be really thorough, carry out voice of the candidate work to understand the experience of people in these roles. This feeds back into personal development and then into effective talent marketing campaigns.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>3. Closer HR and Procurement alignment to deliver strategic workforce management</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">HR and Procurement, having been traditionally siloed, are having to come closer together, aligning their strategies to respond to talent shortages, skills gaps and the need for greater organisational agility and cost savings. This is fuelling a move towards strategic alignment, the bringing together of attraction and strategic and agile management of both the contingent and permanent workforce. The key reasons are talent and cost; in a tighter market with economic uncertainty, organisations need to gain better control of their entire workforce so that they can identify and leverage the skills they have at their disposal, and they are increasingly looking for new opportunities for more aggressive cost avoidance and cost savings.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;HR and Procurement together have a full view of organisational needs and strategy. When you combine that with the specialist knowledge from influential leadership and expertise from specialist workforce and talent solutions providers, it is a powerful combination that delivers meaningful, cost-efficient results.&rdquo; &mdash; Claire Marsh, CEO, Impellam North America.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">We&rsquo;re talking to customers about how they can create better alignment to enable visibility and control. Because until they&rsquo;ve got control and alignment, the issues remain: squeeze here and expenditure increases there &ndash; across permanent and contingent talent. Without gaining control, businesses are often moving problems from the most cost-effective to the least cost-effective solutions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">A successful strategic workforce management approach needs buy in from HR and Procurement leads, as well as other key leadership, such as the CIO/CTO who have oversight of the strategy and its implementation. It needs open conversations about pinch points and talent challenges, consistent sharing and analysis of workforce data between the functions, and strategic alignment on how to attract a workforce that can deliver on the organisation&rsquo;s objectives. When this is done well, it gives businesses greater control and oversight of their talent ecosystems and transforms a reactive approach to a proactive one, which in the current market we&rsquo;re seeing can be a key competitive differentiator.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;With the trend towards a more holistic approach to talent landscapes, organisations can certainly benefit from working with an expert and flexible workforce solutions partner to help them navigate the internal complexities that may arise as a result of the shift in approach. There&rsquo;s no one size fits all, so partners need to provide bespoke solutions along with the expertise to advise on adapting nimbly to changing market conditions.&rdquo; &mdash; Annelise Smith, Managing Director, Lorien Managed Solutions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. The importance of Social Impact and working with hard-to-reach communities</h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Another factor feeding into finding the right talent is the trend for increasingly purpose driven candidates getting more selective about where they want to work. In a recent survey, 87% of employees in North America and 68% in the UK, France, Germany and Ireland said they prioritise organisations that share their values, and in Gen Z that is more pronounced, with 90% saying they would leave their current job for one that better matches their values. It&rsquo;s a positive trend, but one that has implications for hiring and Equity, Diversity &amp; Inclusion practises.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">For all the talk of skills shortages, there are still groups of people who are under-represented in the workforce and/or overlooked by employers, from women in tech to the over-50s. Dig deeper and you&rsquo;ll find barriers to employment that range from living with a disability to having a criminal conviction. Lack of confidence and connections on the part of candidates, and lack of flexibility on the part of employers, can restrict access and even exclude diverse communities from an organisation &ndash; and when competition for talent is fierce, it can make finding and keeping great people harder than it needs to be.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;These talent shortages are an opportunity to look at more diverse talent pools and organisations are beginning to prioritise Social Impact, locally or nationally, as part of their CSR or ESG agendas. I&rsquo;d urge companies to get on board with that now and look at how social value can help drive their people and talent strategies. It&rsquo;s not just doing the right thing, it is imperative and will be crucial in maintaining an engaged workforce and to gaining the trust of your customers.&rdquo; &mdash; Chris Blackburn, STEM ambassador and Head of CSR, Impellam.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Many businesses are already working to drive social mobility in deprived areas by collaborating with schools, colleges, prisons and community groups. It&rsquo;s great for communities and it&rsquo;s excellent for forging and nurturing new talent pipelines. Increasingly, organisations are realising the value of work experience, apprenticeship and degree apprenticeship programmes too, which have the added effect of boosting the labour pool &ndash; a win-win for young people and for industry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Ann Bookout heads up ED&amp;I at Impellam. Looking at Social Impact through the lens of technology, she believes that advancements in tech will increasingly drive Social Impact.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;Given that AI will increasingly cover hard skills, opportunities are growing forthose with strong soft skills. This means that candidates from different backgrounds, with diverse perspectives, can progress with a less formulaic career route. A growing number of organisations have already developed programmes for learning on the job &ndash; and are making a strong Social Impact in the process.&rdquo; &mdash; Ann Bookout, Global Head of Culture and Fulfillment, Impellam.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">We recommend partnering with a workforce and talent solutions specialist that understands how best to tap into and nurture diverse talent pools &ndash; and can help with training and leadership programmes so that candidates from diverse backgrounds are ready to add value from day one.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">As a Global company we recognise there are some regional market differences:</h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;It&rsquo;s fair to say, the UK market is showing caution but resilience. We&rsquo;re seeing customers being shrewd in their approach to talent and workforce strategies and welcoming of new solutions with demonstrable results. As a result, in the coming months I expect to be having even more conversations around important solutions like Advanced Direct Sourcing, services procurement and deliverables-based SOW, as well as increased interest from all industries for the specialist STEM talent needed to futureproof businesses.&rdquo; &mdash; Simon Blockley, CEO, Impellam UK &amp; Europe.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Brian Salkowski, Chief Experience Officer, Impellam takes an optimistic view.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;For North America, predictions for 2024 suggest an economic soft landing. And with consumer spending up, more capital projects are resuming, which bodes well for a bounce back across the workforce solutions market. However, competition will remain fierce, so I predict that this bounce back will see even more organisations being very careful about the kind of workforce solution partners they select.&rdquo; &mdash; Brian Salkowski, Chief Experience Officer, Impellam.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">Mark Coyle, CEO, Impellam APAC recognises the need for agility in workforce solutions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&ldquo;With unemployment at just 4%, Australia&rsquo;s candidate shortages mean a lot of organisations are struggling to find skilled staff &ndash; especially in IT and healthcare. This has led to a growing trend for offshore recruitment, set to continue. I&rsquo;d recommend partnering with an organisation that has the flex and expertise to deliver high-quality offshore talent where and when it&rsquo;s needed.&rdquo; &mdash; Mark Coyle, CEO, Impellam APAC.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p>We can help with large consultancy spend to a high volume of service suppliers, across some or all procurement categories. These technology-enabled, expert-led solutions remove the burden from internal teams, while maximum visibility and robust processes drive full compliance, cost avoidance and savings.</p>

Workplace combines the structure of a traditional intranet with the capabilities of Enterprise-wide Social Networking software: a place to organise and disseminate information securely, and where our people can connect, communicate and collaborate. Our Group CEO holds quarterly strategy briefings with all our people and connects with them on a regular basis through Workplace, using video and written updates, wellbeing check-ins, a monthly newsletter, live Q&amp;A sessions, and other multimedia to provide strategic information and financial updates. Our managers hold regular one-to-one meetings with their people in addition to team meetings, wider business-area conferences and town halls to facilitate sharing of information, consultation, and two-way communication, supported by tools like OpenBlend, a coaching platform.</p><p>The Virtuoso Alliance (our shadow board) operates alongside the Leadership Team to provide opinions, ideas, insight and observations on the world in which we operate. Its 12 members make sure our Group CEO and the Leadership Team remain connected to our colleagues and in turn our customers and candidates. The Impellam communications model and associated technology means we can connect with our colleagues quickly, wherever they are. The platform and communication strategy facilitates faster knowledge sharing, communication and collaboration. This dynamic approach to communications is key to our strategy and culture of enabling our Virtuosos to achieve our vision of becoming the world&rsquo;s most trusted staffing company.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary>Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&amp;I)</summary><p>We actively encourage diversity in the workplace and have a wide and varied colleague base with a variety of social and ethnic groups represented at all levels of the business. We believe that breaking down the barriers that have traditionally restricted access to the labour market will encourage job opportunities for all. Our Business Resource Groups (BRG) and Unity Council include representation from our key regions: North America, APAC, and UK &amp; Europe. Under the direction and leadership of our Group CEO the BRGs bring together ED&amp;I leadership and governance balanced with Group-wide, regional and brand-specific actions. Our strategy is based on data, qualitative intelligence from a global survey, participation from regional committees and aims to make Impellam a more diverse and inclusive business wherever we operate. We continue to be recognised for our ED&amp;I efforts receiving several accolades in the year.

In line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we annually review internal and external measures to ensure we are doing what we can to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our businesses and in our supply chains.

A digital campaign was quickly launched, complete with a chatbot in Ukrainian, and a Ukrainian national was brought into the team to provide additional support to those arriving in the UK with CV writing and interviews. Many people have been supported to navigate job seeking in a new country. All profit from placing refugees, combined with an employee donation match scheme, has generated &pound;27k for the International Red Cross.</p><p>Other community support initiatives have included inspiring the next generation of STEM talent with school visits, mock interviews and learning to code, work with HMP Drake Hall on inmate rehabilitation, taking part in Impellam-sponsored Pride marches and cleaning beaches in the UK and Australia.</p><p>Impellam people have an additional day of paid leave that they can use specifically for volunteering.

We have calculated the emission intensity metrics on both a revenue and colleague basis, which we will monitor to track performance in our subsequent environmental disclosures. The methodology used to calculate the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is in accordance with the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2022).</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary>Energy and carbon action</summary><p>Our focus in the past year has been to extend and encourage working behaviours that are less impactful, which has resulted in us being able to continue to rationalise our property footprint which continues to decrease as leases expire. Where the need for a physical location remains, we have looked to share spaces across multiple operating businesses and increasingly utilise serviced offices and workspaces. Most businesses have also reduced the amount of time they&rsquo;re physically in the offices, which itself drives reductions in energy consumption.</p><p>Whilst not directly affecting the Scope 2 emissions reporting, the Group completed its first full financial year of purchasing 100% renewable electricity generated only through wind, solar and hydro for all of its UK operations.</p><p>The business has also had in place an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme available to all UK employees and to support this initiative have invested in and installed nine EV Charging Points at the UK Head Office.</p><p>Finally, the Group intends to fulfil its promise of achieving Carbon Neutrality and we will be offsetting our carbon emissions as stated above utilising the PAS2060 framework which will be published on our website in due course.</p><p>The business remains committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and work will continue on the development and delivery of a Net Zero strategy this year. The Group will also continue to implement and formalise new processes in preparation for our first TCFD reporting cycle in 2024, as well as participating and reporting under the third phase of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) throughout the year. The business will continue its process of removing all company provided vehicles with the aim of having no owned or leased vehicles by the end of 2023 and will continue to offer the EV scheme to all employees.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary>Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (&lsquo;TCFD&rsquo;)</summary><p>TCFD reporting is important to effective ESG and climate risk management.
