Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper was to help the reader understand how technology is crucial to the effective management of non-traditional workforces. Over the past year, the UK labour market, much like the rest of the world, has found itself dealing with challenges at every turn. Whether significant interest rate hikes in response to surging inflation, the energy crisis and global supply chain issues largely influenced by the escalation of the war in Ukraine or rapid changes in working attitudes and cultures, businesses are increasingly under a lot of pressure.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper was designed and written based on the findings of Magnit’s Winter 2023 Europe Labour Market Report.
Findings
Consequently, organisations have to adapt their attitudes to the hiring and management of staff, whether that be leveraging temporary workers, re-evaluating pay rates or expanding benefits.
Originality/value
Critical to this endeavour is to implement an effective workforce management strategy that is embedded into all decision-making processes.
