With the welcomed announcement that millions of public sector workers will get a pay rise, there are still concerns that this won’t solve recruitment issues.
Commenting on this, Tania Bowers, Global Public Policy Director at the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo), said, “We fully welcome the pay increase and have no doubt that it will alleviate some of the disruption and strike action that has dominated the news in recent months.
“However, it is crucial that the Government doesn’t take its eye off the ball and fall into the trap of believing that this will solve all of the resourcing issues facing the sector.”
