Following the joint policy announcement by the Department for Work and Pensions, the Department for Health and Social Care, and His Majesty’s Treasury in November 2023, the Better Hiring Institute collaborated with Reed Screening and its consortium of experts to develop a clear and actionable plan. This plan is designed for employers to integrate into their daily hiring practices, ensuring the success of the Back to Work Plan throughout 2024 and beyond.
The government’s 'Back to Work Plan' aims to re-employ 1.1 million people, boosting the economy and reducing net migration. To achieve this, employers must adapt their hiring practices to address the high number of economically inactive individuals and fill the one million vacancies across the UK.
Based on feedback from UK employers and parliamentary briefings, the Better Hiring Charter has been developed as guidance to support this initiative. The document provides a detailed roadmap for employers to align with the Back to Work Plan. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll discover:
Adopting digital methods to make UK hiring the fastest globally
Addressing the needs of the new hybrid workplace
Modernising policies to reflect new digital risks and hiring fraud
