fix . We would like to see the government allow more non-skilled work visas to help support food production and low-skilled manufacturing , not restrict the visas to seasonal crop picking .
“ During the pandemic , throughout the country we lost 35 per cent of our workers aged 50-65 . People were choosing to have a different work-life balance .
“ This resulted in a massive skill shortage across our region where industry is now regenerating . Not only did we lose their skills but also the ability of those skill sets to train those coming up behind them .
“ There are many ways we have at our disposal of replacing the void , through training , retraining and offering to existing skilled workers who have left industry the opportunity to return under different terms , job share being one of the alternatives .
“ Let ’ s encourage the return of these highly skilled workers back into industry or training positions by creating suitable opportunities to facilitate their reintroduction into the workplace .”
It ’ s no secret that the world of work has changed for so many businesses and employers over the last couple of years , key driving forces being Covid , Brexit , the Ukraine war and the escalation in interest rates .
It can be difficult to keep up with the new variables and make fast but effective changes . Time moves on and Imperial embraces changing habits .
The firm looks to find answers to the problems businesses face by assessing the challenges and providing a staffing solution that fits within the employment market .
Patricia said : “ Overall we find through change and adaptability we have had a successful year . In analysing the past
12 months we have appointed 265 candidates into permanent positions and increased our temporary worker / contractor desk by 35 per cent .
“ New clients are coming to us through our active marketing campaigns and now our internal team has increased by 25 per cent to service these volumes .
“ Any successful business is backed by an efficient administration team and payroll department , and we could not be prouder of our team .
“ Anyone who operates a weekly temporary workforce will know , as one week ends , the next begins . It ’ s relentless . In addition to running a payroll for up to 1,000 of our own temporary workers , we also administrate the payroll for some of our clients . Payroll can be a daunting task , so we are always happy to help our clients manage theirs if required .”
Imperial firmly believes the North- East , specifically the Tees Valley , has an enviably high quality of life that perfectly matches the ambitions of the area and the people who live here to be one of the best places in the world to live and work .
