What do clients want to know?
In the summer of 2009, Randstad posed a question to its clients. What added value are they looking for from the HR services industry in the future? The simple and overwhelming response was this: with Randstad undertaking work for so many clients and so many candidates in so many countries and in so many sectors, they felt that the company was uniquely placed to provide them with intelligence about the jobs market.

What's it all about?
As a result, Randstad decided to complie The 2010 World of Work Report, which reflects on the UK’s current employment environment.  The report looks at how clients are managing internal change and productivity whilst being mindful of the impact on employer branding and  offers a view on how candidates feel during this period of change and uncertainty.
 
The report records the responses and concerns of employers, employees, temporary workers and freelancers in a diverse range of industry sectors: accounting, banking & financial services, construction, property & engineering, education, public sector, healthcare, IT & telecoms and legal, HR, the creative industries, transport & logistics, FMCG and retail.

By representing both the supply and demand sides of the workforce equation, the report offers a rare perspective on the burning questions that may be keeping you, as a leader, awake at night.
