In view of the Autumn 2024 Budget and Spending Review, our submission to HM Treasury emphasises the need for a broader UK economic strategy beyond becoming a “science and technology superpower”.
We make recommendations that include balancing worker protection and employer flexibility in the new, enhanced employment regulations; doubling Acas' budget to help support SMEs and other employers comply with employment law; and funding collaboration between businesses, unions, and employers – encouraging innovation and productivity.
In addition, we call for the creation of an Apprenticeship Guarantee for 16–24-year-olds as well as financial incentives for youth apprenticeships. Lastly, we believe there should be wider adoption of technology and best practice among UK SMEs.
We’re calling on the UK Government to create a long-term workforce strategy centred on skilled, healthy and fair work
