An evaluation of the impact of the threat of Brexit on employment, recruitment and retention of EU migrant workers within the NHS


Book Description

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 61, University of Plymouth, language: English, abstract: This paper is an evaluation of the impact of the threat of Brexit on employment, recruitment, and retention of EU migrant workers within the NHS. According to a survey by the Shelford Group (2018), over 40% of the NHS employers and service providers have mentioned that they will be negatively impacted by the restricted migration from the EU and only 35% of the employers mentioned that they have an active plan of recruiting staff locally or from out of the EU. In fact, a large number of respondents were anxious about the rights of the current EU workforce in the near future and if these people suddenly leave the job due to Brexit, there is a serious shortage of skilled workers in the health and social care sector and NHS is going to feel the burden. Therefore, it is very important to assess the impact on the NHS’s ability to employ, recruit and retain staff from the EU. Within the scope of this study, the level of EU migrant workers in the NHS will be assessed along with their impact in running the services. However, the issues related to the NHS and Brexit are multifaceted and not all of them will be assessed through this study due to certain limitations.




Brexit as a Challenge for the European Recruitment of Skilled Workers


Book Description

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Recruiting, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Management, language: English, abstract: This scientific work will deal with the opportunities and risks of abolishing the free movement of workers. The focus will be on forecasting the possible effects on European recruitment. Using an analogy between the United Kingdom and an EU member state (Germany), precise differences will be analysed and challenges from different aspects will be examined. Brexit is currently a precedent case with already many political and economic implications. Accordingly, the research approach of this thesis is a literature analysis in combination with a scenario model. This is intended to present various exit scenarios of Great Britain vis-à-vis the EU and, in combination with an analysis of publications, to form recommendations for action for these scenarios. On 23 June 2016, the inhabitants of the United Kingdom voted in a referendum by a majority of 51.9 to 48.1 percent in favour of their country leaving the European Union (EU). The decision to "British exit" (brexit) marks a turning point in the more than 40-year relationship between the United Kingdom and the European community of states. It is the first time that a member leaves the European family of states - a decision of primarily symbolic significance, which brings with it decades of constant enlargement and restriction of the EU's internal market. In the campaign for EU withdrawal, the issue of "abolition of free movement of workers" and the associated immigration played a central role. It aims to reduce immigration and its dangers, such as "state loss of control and surveillance". From an EU perspective, every EU citizen loses the opportunity to take up and pursue work in the United Kingdom under the same conditions as citizens between EU states. From a UK perspective, the decision has a clear political objective, but it can have devasta

The Effect of Brexit on British Workers Living in the EU


Book Description

The effect of Brexit is an important topic in the European and British political agendas. This study examines the perspective of the EU countries, with regards how British citizens working in an EU country reacted to the end of free movement of workers. Employing synthetic control methods and using data from Portugal, we estimate how the behaviour of UK citizens working in Portugal would have evolved if the Remain vote had won the referendum. Our results suggest that the Brexit referendum reduced the number of UK citizens working in Portugal, particularly in the case of non-university educated, male individuals with temporary employment contracts. This reduction is explained by the decrease in the number of incomers. We also find that those UK citizens who were already working in Portugal before Brexit are less likely to leave the country.

Upskilling the UK Workforce


Book Description

The UK workforce has larger and more chronic skills gaps than in most peer countries, with surveys reporting widespread recruitment difficulties, with implications for output, in high-skill sectors like digital and software, manufacturing, medicine and life sciences, teaching, and construction. This partly reflects declines in primary and post-secondary education outcomes (particularly science scores, over the past two decades) and in workplace training and apprenticeships, particularly for the young. Moreover, the recent increase in non-EU migrants has not fully offset the adverse impact from Brexit on the availability of needed skills, including because smaller firms face more recruitment hurdles with regard to non-EU hires. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need to upskill the UK workforce, both by building on ongoing efforts, as well as additional concrete measures to: (i) encourage students and young workers to join and excel in STEM; (ii) ensure adequate vocational and on the job training, particularly for the young; (iii) retain the talent produced by UKs world leading universities; (iv) upskill the existing labor force; and (v) facilitate attraction and retention of in-demand skills through adjustments to the visa regime.
