Time and attendance systems to play mission critical role for HR departments as competition for talent set to increase

Time and attendance systems with workforce management modules will become mission critical for HR departments across the UK as the competition for talent is set to increase following Brexit.

Fresh research suggests that, as a result of the UK’s decision to leave the EU, nearly three-quarters of HR professionals (72%) expect the competition for well-qualified talent to increase, and nearly two-thirds (61%) predict further difficulty recruiting senior and skilled employees over the next three years.

The latest CIPD/Hays Resourcing and Talent Planning Survey of more than 1,000 HR professionals found that recruitment difficulties are already being reported by three quarters of HR professionals (75%), and nearly two-thirds (65%) agree that the skills needed for jobs in their organisation are changing. Professionals with leadership (58%), digital (54%) and commercial awareness skills (51%) are most likely to increase in demand over the next 12 months.

Claire McCartney, Associate Research Adviser at the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, comments:

“Today’s research highlights a mounting war for talent and the subsequent need for organisations to sharpen their focus on strategic recruitment and effective retention, to attract and maintain the skills they need in an increasingly competitive labour market. Brexit, and its impact on the labour market, should act as a stimulus for organisations to focus their attention on building a stronger, more productive workforce, by staying alert to potential changes in their skill needs and being agile in their response.”
