Wage increases are unlikely as jobs are

proving attractive enough to unemployed

WAGE rises of any substantial nature are

unlikely in the next 12 months as the majority of employers report they are having little
problem hiring the staff they need, according
to the latest CIPD Labour Market Outlook
survey.
The survey, with more than 1,000 employers,
revealed that only 15 per cent of job vacancies are proving difficult to fill, meaning
firms will not be forced to boost pay to attract
recruits.
There are exceptions to this, with sectors
such as construction and utilities, finance
and retail still struggling to fill roles due to
skills shortages, but overall median basic pay
is predicted to rise by just two per cent in the
year to September 2016.
LMO results showed that the number of
applicants per vacancy has remained steady
during the past year. Employers say they
receive an average of 25 applications for each
low-skilled role, 15 for medium-skilled roles
and eight for highly skilled roles.
This suggests that most businesses are
seeing a steady flow of suitable candidates,
despite unemployment falling to a seven-year
low in October and despite a slight year on
year increase (from 44 per cent to 49 per cent)
in the proportion of employers with hard-tofill vacancies. The majority of employers said
they respond to the problem of difficult-tofill roles by up-skilling existing staff (48 per

cent), followed by hiring more apprentices (27

per cent), recruiting migrant workers (23 per
cent) and raising starting salaries for hard-tofill positions (22 per cent).
Gerwyn Davies, labour market analyst
at the CIPD, said: It seems that warnings
about the UK facing a skills shortage crisis
understate the ability of many employers
to ease their recruitment problems. Many
employers have heeded previous warnings of
a tightening jobs market by providing more
job opportunities for young people, including
through apprenticeships, while up-skilling
the existing workforce. At the same time, others are using migrant workers to strengthen
their defence against a tightening labour
market.
He said that this flexibility in the UK
labour market was likely to restrain any
significant wage inflation over the next 12
months.
Davies said: This is despite the introduction of the national living wage in April
2016, which may have a big impact on overall
wage bills for some organisations in certain
sectors, but negligible impact on overall wage
inflation.
Skills shortages are still an issue for certain
recruiters with the largest proportion of
hard-to-fill vacancies in the manufacturing
and production sector (24 per cent), which
includes industries such as construction

and utilities, and private sector services (24

per cent), which covers industries such as
finance and retail.
Davies said: In some areas though, skills
shortages do remain more acute. Employers that are struggling to fill vacancies
should think about how they can up-skill the
workforce. On-the-job learning, mentoring
schemes and apprenticeships are cost effective ways in which both new blood and new
skills can be injected into the workforce.

He said that government also needs to ensure that policy does not compound any skills
shortages, especially in relation to immigration where further restrictions on migrant
workers look set to be introduced.
There is also a danger that cuts to the
further education budget may undermine
the willingness and ability of employers to
further invest in training their workers or enable individuals to invest in their own skills,
he said.
