Following the mini budget which was bold but risky, could this accelerate growth within the economy or are we heading for a recession?

The speed of inflation is putting the economy in a precarious position with prices likely to continue to rise, the financial viability of organisations is potentially at risk. We’ve been here before with the financial crash in 2008 and more recently with the global pandemic – both completely different situations but requiring careful business planning, taking action and being agile to what lies ahead. What lessons have we learned that we can bring into the next 12 months?

Join our panel of experts on Tuesday 25th October at 10am, where we will be discussing the recruitment industry landscape for the next 12 months and providing practical tips on how you can shape your recruitment business for success.

We will be covering:

  • The impact the tax cuts announced in the mini budget will have on your business and how you can be more tax efficient
  • How to manage cashflow proactively and the best approach if you need an injection of cash to support your business
  • Getting your working capital to work for you
  • M&A is still buoyant but what effect may the current economic climate have on deals in the Recruitment sector and on how these are valued and structured?
  • How to address the cost of living increases with your employees and clients
  • Expectations of employees are changing. How can you adapt to ensure retention and continue to attract top talent?
  • When looking at the imminent changes in the economic cycle, are there any specific areas of a business plan that leaders should prioritise?
  • When considering the mindset of leaders during a recessionary climate, from an accounting point of view, what type of mindset should a leader assume?
  • Plan for the worst and hope for the best is the old adage, but growing your business irrespective of the economic climate is always an imperative. What strategically important areas of our businesses should we focus upon to encourage growth?

This will be an open discussion with our experts providing their perspectives as well as an opportunity for you to ask questions.
