Q
How might the apprenticeship levy affect our organisation?
A
A continuing issue for facilities managers is locating people with the right skill set. This has led them to an increased use of the apprenticeship scheme that central Government wants to expand over the next few years. The cost of this extension is to be met with the apprenticeship levy which, that it is hoped, will raise £3 billion a year.
Facilities managers have always had to manage a fluid workforce. The findings of the Job Exodus Trends 2016 report from Investors in People shows that one in five employees across the country complains of high workloads (19%), nearly a quarter are concerned by a lack of career progression (23%) and over a quarter are unhappy with their levels of pay (27%), prompting a potential mass exodus.
