Work Matters 2023: A year of uncertainty?

14.00 – 15.00 | Tuesday 14 February | Online

As the UK enters recession workers, organisations and the Government are facing great uncertainty in 2023.

Inflation is still in double digits and is outpacing wage growth – with those in the public sector hit hardest. Vacancies are still at over a million, and economic inactivity is still higher than at pre-pandemic levels. Strikes are continuing to hit the headlines, with no end in sight for pay disputes.

With the Bank of England forecasting unemployment will rise as the recession hits businesses and families, what can decision makers in Whitehall and across the UK do to support people through the tough economic circumstances?
