Strategic Update on EMEA
ManpowerGroup Solutions TAPFIN | QMR Q4, 2016| ManpowerGroup Proprietary & Confidential
Eastern Europe• Hungary has stopped thousands of refugees and migrants from coming into its country but it now wants ‐ or rather needs ‐ foreigners to help deal with its labor shortage. Currently tens of thousands of positions go unfilled each year with companies from Germany ‐ which represents about a quarter of foreign investment in Hungry ‐ are limiting their operations in the country because of the labor shortage.
• To strengthen its legacy in the cybersecurity field, Romania’s Ministry of Education plans to add cybersecurity classes for children aged between 11 and 14 years. It's a concerted effort to address the potential skills shortage for cybersecurity talent as 80%+ of tech professionals feel there is a shortage of people with such skills, according to a July 2016 study.
Western Europe• The United Kingdom’s digital economy is creating new
jobs at a rate that was three times faster than the wider UK job market. However the UK government admitted that “a shortage in suitable digital skills for digital jobs persists in the UK labor market.” This report went on to say that 72% of large companies and 49% of SMEs suffer from tech skills gaps.
• Germany is considering changing its labor laws to make Frankfurt a more attractive hub for banks looking to move staff out of London after Brexit. The reforms relate to labor laws that make lay‐offs difficult and costly as minimum statutory redundancy terms are twice as generous in Germany as in the UK. This is a particular issue for banks, which tend to hire and fire more readily than other sectors, in line with cyclical business profitability.
• United Kingdom workers are starting to feel Brexit’s bite as real wages are rising at the weakest pace since early 2015. The pressure looks set to intensify with employment growth slowing and some economists predicting price gains as fast as 3% next year.
