Fluctuating inflation rates hold significant implications for businesses and the job market. As a group of leading recruitment companies, we closely monitor inflation and other key metrics to better understand and predict market behaviours. The latest data on inflation rates, showing a trend of stabilisation and gradual decrease, offers a promising outlook for businesses looking to expand their teams.

A Look at the Numbers

The journey of inflation rates over the past few years has been quite eventful. After a period of relative stability in 2018 and 2019, with rates hovering around 2-3%, we witnessed a sharp decline in 2020, clearly influenced by the global events at the time. However, there has been a significant uptick in recent years, peaking in Q4 2022 with rates soaring above 11%. The good news is that recent months’ data has shown a gradual decline, with today’s announcement marking a rate of 4.6%, indicating a shift towards economic recovery and stability.

What This Means for Hiring

This downward trend in inflation is a positive sign for businesses. It suggests a more stable economic environment, encouraging companies to plan for growth and expansion. Lower inflation rates can mean more predictable costs and, therefore, more confident hiring decisions. With the economy showing signs of recovery, it’s an opportune time for businesses to leverage the talent market, which is ripe with skilled professionals.

Market Confidence

The latest inflation data sends a subtle yet powerful message of confidence to the market. Coupled with the expectation that the Bank of England keep interest rates stable and could reduce them from as early as Q2 2024. This suggests that the economy is regaining its footing, making it an ideal time for strategic investments in human resources. Hiring is not just about filling positions; it’s about preparing for the future, and the current economic indicators support this vision.

In summary, the current trend in inflation rates presents a window of opportunity for businesses ready to capitalise on a stabilising economy. The key takeaway is clear: now is a strategic time to invest in your workforce. As your recruitment partner, we are excited to assist you in this journey, ensuring that you find the right talent to harness the potential of this promising economic phase.

Our mental wellbeing is increasingly susceptible to the pressures and challenges of the digital world surrounding us. Packed to the brim with tempting content provoking harsh comparisons, unrealistic lifestyle expectations, instant gratification, and glorified overconsumption, social media can be difficult to escape and even harder to use with balance. 

Mental wellness encompasses more than just the absence of mental illness; it is a state of overall wellbeing where individuals can cope with the stresses of life and maintain a positive mental outlook. In this new digital age, constant connectivity and the influence of social media can impact our mental health significantly.

As we enter autumn and winter this year and spend more time solitarily indoors it is essential to prioritise our health and employ strategies to navigate our digital landscapes while maintaining a balanced state of mind. 

While technology has undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways from connectivity with family and friends to inspiration for your next DIY project excessive screen time can have adverse effects on our mental health. Negative effects can include increased symptoms of depression, delayed melatonin release, a desynchronised body clock, hormone imbalances, and a reduced sense of wellbeing.

As winter approaches, make it a priority to unplug from the digital world regularly. Engage in outdoor activities, spend time with loved ones, or pursue hobbies off-screen that bring you joy.

You could try;

• Reading a new book
• Starting a fitness challenge
• Learning to cook or bake with a loved one

Disconnecting from the virtual realm allows you to reconnect with yourself and find balance in your daily life.

While it may not be realistic to completely detach from digital platforms, it can be pivotal to adopt mindful digital consumption habits. Be conscious of the content you engage with and its impact on your mental health. Set digital boundaries and unfollow accounts that trigger negative emotions or contribute to an unhealthy comparison mindset. Instead, curate your digital environment to include content that uplifts, inspires, and educates you.

Boundaries are crucial for protecting our mental health. Ensure to establish healthy digital boundaries around technology usage, both for screen time and content. Create designated periods during the day when you disconnect from screens and focus on real-life interactions or tasks that can better your personal growth.

There are many apps that can help you manage your screen time and set boundaries. Opal, Freedom, and Forest are all great options.

If you find yourself struggling with mental health issues this winter, do not hesitate to seek professional help. Mental health professionals are trained to provide the support and guidance needed to navigate the challenges of the digital age. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength and self-care.

A topic which has been recently highlighted more in the last few years than ever before but stills needs more recognition in and around the workplace, is mental health.

There are many preconceptions of what mental health is and in which form it presents itself The World Health Organization defines mental health as “the foundation for the well-being and effective functioning of individuals. It is more than the absence of a mental disorder; it is the ability to think, learn, and understand one’s emotions and the reactions of others. Mental health is a state of balance, both within and with the environment.’

Everyone can be affected differently when it comes to their own personal mental health and when an individual experiences poor mental health, they may also display their selves in a number of different ways including:

• Feeling constantly tired;
• Showing signs of stress and anxiety;
• Being distracted or confused;
• Working excessive hours;
• Increased smoking or drinking;
• Impaired or inconsistent performance (or uncharacteristic errors);
• Misusing prescription drugs or using recreational drugs;
• Appetite and weight changes;
• Changes in sleep patterns;
• Loss of motivation;
• Over excitement or euphoria;
• Lapses in memory or illogical or irrational thought processes;
• Tearfulness and experiencing low mood;
• Physical symptoms including an upset stomach, headaches, or joint and back pain;
• Displaying irritable, angry, or obsessive behaviour;
• Increased sickness absence; or
• Reference to suicidal thoughts.

These are some of the early signs which can present when someone is struggling and so as an employer it is important to recognise these signs and act accordingly. Mental health can be affected by external problems and workplace occurrences, which is why supporting mental health in the workplace can be paramount to not only allowing employees to perform to their best potential, but it can also ensure everyone feels supported and has the best chance at at managing their mental health to a good level.

Some of the steps PRG have taken to support employee’s mental health in the workplace include the following:

• People Power Hour sessions led by HR, giving employees an opportunity to talk about any home or work-related problems they are having
• Free counselling sessions, massages and alternative therapies from the companies free Medicash plan
• Office dogs allowed to create a fun and relaxing environment
• Flexible working and work from home arrangements with your manager
• A people first approach ensuring hard work in rewarded through incentive abroad trips and club lunches
• Ensuring all employees have the opportunity to grow their learning and individual development through the Learning Locker programme which funds external learning such as getting a CIPD qualification
• Monthly meetings where individual employees are recognised for their hard work and PRG communicate the plans and goals for the year, so everyone feels included and has direction and purpose.

Last month PRG completed a monumental charity challenge to scale the Welsh Three Peaks in an impressive 16 hours. Together the group of 20 raised nearly £5,700 for the charity Walking With The Wounded which provides care and support to veterans and their families. Following this, we have crafted an informative guide listing the interdisciplinary benefits that walking provides.

Perhaps this information will convince you to take part in a charity hiking event, pursue a new hobby, or switch up your fitness routine. Continue reading to discover more about how walking could be your vehicle towards better health.  

Fitness offers many perquisites to our health, both mental and physical, but physical activity does not need to be complicated or extreme. A walk or hike offers a plethora of advantages and is more accessible to those who might have physical limitations that forbid movement that could be straining. Taking care of our health is of critical importance all year round, especially as we draw closer towards the darker, downcast months.

Walking increases your cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness, aiding in life longevity and peak health. According to studies taken by American Heart Association walking at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease by about 19%. Cardiovascular health risks may be reduced even further by increasing walking duration, distance, and intensity.

Consciously choosing to walk as your fitness of choice can improve your management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint/muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes as the body is able to expend insulin more effectively. The increased blood flow from skeletal muscle contractions when walking can improve glucose inflow due to insulin, and therefore, the increase in blood flow causes the removal of excess glucose.

Walking also assists in actively strengthening your immune system and improves blood circulation to help white blood cell activity. A study created by Harvard questioned 1,000 men and women and found that those who walked just 20 minutes a day for 5 days a week had on average 43% fewer sick days compared to those who only exercised once a week or less.

The constant support required by your feet and legs results in stronger bones and increased balance, as well as stronger muscles. Bone is living tissue and using your feet and legs constantly to support your weight, makes your bones work harder to support you. This consistent support results in stronger bones and increased balance which can lower your risk of fractures and breakages. Studies also show that walking 5-6 miles a day can reduce the risk and onset of arthritis in older generations as well as the young.

Fresh air combined with physical activity increases the chances of a better night’s sleep and can also improve your mood. During the winter, around 2 million people in the UK alone will experience SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). According to the American Psychiatric Association ‘SAD has been linked to a biochemical imbalance in the brain prompted by shorter daylight hours and less sunlight in winter’. Regular walking can be a great way to increase your mood and counteract the effects of SAD.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a creative rut or bout of overthought, walking can be a great way to aid creative flow and clear your head. Walking is also ideal for reducing levels of cortisol, the hormone which causes symptoms of stress. Even just a 10 minute walk could do a world of wonder to your mental health.

Walking may considerably assist your health in the present, but it is undeniably true that by pursuing walking throughout your life you are aiding and assisting your future health drastically and in many positive ways. As we’ve explored in this piece, walking is a simple yet powerful activity that can have a profound impact on our overall well-being.

In a world that often seems increasingly fast-paced and stressful, taking time to walk can be a simple yet profound act of self-care. It not only benefits our physical health but also clears our minds, enhances creativity, and provides a moment of respite from the demands of everyday life. So, whether you’re seeking to improve your physical fitness, boost your mental health, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature, consider making walking a regular part of your routine. It’s a step in the right direction towards a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.

At PRG the health of our employees is of utmost importance, and because of this, we have implemented many benefits to assist healthy living among those in our company. Some of these include free gym sessions each week, a cycle-to-work scheme, and money off medical bills through the platform MediCash.

Charity events such as PRG – We Summit For The Wounded provided PRG with a physical challenge alongside an incentive to raise money for a great cause. We can’t wait to participate in more events such as these in the future that both aid our fitness and those around us.

Throughout our lives, a significant part of our time is dedicated to our careers. Whether aiming for the next promotion, switching fields, or pursuing life-long dreams, setting and achieving career goals can be both exciting and challenging. In this blog, we’ll break down the process of achieving your career goals into simple steps that anyone can follow to achieve success.

1. Clearly define your goals

The first and most fundamental step in achieving your career goals is to define them clearly. Take time to really think about what you want to achieve. Do you want a specific job title, a certain level of income, or a particular role in a company? The more specific and clear your goals are, the easier it will be to work towards them.

2. Break Goals into Smaller Steps

Now that you have your main career goals in mind, it’s time to break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. Think of these steps as the building blocks that will lead you to your ultimate destination. For example, if you want to become a project manager, you might start by earning a relevant certification, gaining experience as a team leader, and then applying for project management positions suited to you.

3. Create a Timeline

Setting an achievable timeline for your career goals can help you stay focused and motivated. Determine when you want to achieve each of your smaller goals and your ultimate career goal. Having a timeframe will give you a sense of urgency and help you track your progress along the way.

4. Develop a Plan

Now that you have a timeline and smaller steps, it’s time to create a plan. This plan should outline the specific actions you need to take to reach each of your smaller goals. It could include tasks like networking, taking courses, gaining experience, and applying for jobs. A clear plan will aid you in staying organised, and ensure you hold yourself accountable on your personal mission.

5. Learn and Improve Continuously

The world is constantly evolving, and so are industries and job markets. To establish a competitive stance and achieve your career goals, commit to lifelong learning. Take advantage of opportunities to acquire new skills, attend workshops, and stay updated with industry trends. Continuous improvement will make you a more valuable asset to your current or future employer. PRG values continuous improvement as one of our three pillars, find out more about our values and what we do here.

6. Seek Guidance and Mentorship

Don’t be afraid to seek guidance from professionals who have already achieved what you’re striving for. Finding a mentor can provide you with invaluable insights and advice. They can share their experiences, help you navigate challenges, and even introduce you to valuable contacts in your field. Most people will be happy to help you along your journey to career success, the first step is taking the initiative to ask.

7. Network Effectively

Networking is a powerful tool in achieving career goals. Attend industry events, join professional associations, and use social media platforms like LinkedIn to connect with like-minded professionals. Building a strong professional network can open doors to new opportunities and help you stay informed about job openings and industry trends. On top of this, seeing others achieve what you’re working towards can provide you with motivation and drive to work harder.

8. Stay Persistent and Resilient

Achieving career goals is rarely a straightforward journey. There will be many setbacks, rejections, and challenges along the way. The key to success is to stay persistent and resilient. Don’t let obstacles deter you from your path, and the life you want for yourself. Use failures as learning opportunities and keep moving forward.

9. Celebrate Milestones and Achievements

As you work towards your career goals, it’s essential to celebrate your achievements along the way. Each completed step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your ultimate goal. Recognising and celebrating your progress will boost your morale and keep you motivated.

10. Review and Adjust

Periodically review your career goals and the progress you’ve made. It’s okay to adjust your goals and plans as your circumstances change or as you gain new insights. Flexibility is key to long-term success.

Achieving your career goals is a journey that requires dedication, planning, and continuous effort. By defining your goals clearly, breaking them down into manageable steps, and following a well-structured plan, you can work steadily towards the career of your dreams. Remember to stay persistent, seek guidance when needed, and celebrate your achievements along the way. Your ideal career is within reach – all you need to do is take those simple steps forward.

Over the last 3 years, the concept of work has undergone a transformative shift. The traditional 9-to-5 job structure is gradually giving way to a more fluid and dynamic work environment, where adaptability is emerging as a quintessential skill for success. As we gaze into the horizon of the future of work, one thing becomes abundantly clear: adaptability will be the cornerstone upon which thriving careers and resilient organisations are built.

The landscape of work is being reshaped by forces such as automation, artificial intelligence, and the ‘gig economy’. Job roles that once seemed impervious to change are now susceptible to automation, demanding individuals to recalibrate their skills and roles in response. The ability to pivot swiftly in the face of technological disruptions will be a determining factor in career progression. Those who possess the intuition to learn new tools and embrace unfamiliar technologies will remain competitive and relevant in the ever-evolving job market.

Key Point: Commit yourself to continuously learning new, emerging technologies to enhance your assets and become a more valuable team member. PRG offers incredible opportunities to upskill your career. Including the Learning Locker, which gives you access to funds which you can use towards an educational course or certificate.

Adaptability is not limited to technical skills alone. The future of work necessitates a broader mindset shift, one that embraces change and uncertainty. As industries metamorphose at an unprecedented pace, employees who can navigate ambiguity with grace will stand out. These individuals will be comfortable with experimentation, unafraid of failure, and adept at finding alternative routes when confronted with roadblocks. Their ability to maintain composure and creativity under pressure will set them apart as invaluable assets to their organisations.

Key Point: Prioritise your ability to adapt to different working environments and hold yourself accountable and open to flexible working.

Companies, too, must adapt or risk shallow downfall. Organisations are recognising that rigid traditional hierarchies hinder innovation and responsiveness. By fostering a culture that values and rewards adaptability, organisations can harness the collective intelligence of their workforce and pivot swiftly in response to changing market dynamics.

Key Point: It’s not singularly employees at risk of the new work system, companies also risk demise if they refuse to step up and evolve alongside the majority. At PRG we continuously strive to adapt our workforce. Through opening new offices globally, to providing flexibility and remote working, you can be sure that PRG are doing our utmost to keep our company moving and dynamic.

Remote work, accelerated by recent global events, has become a prime example of the necessity for adaptability. The lines between personal and professional spaces have blurred, demanding individuals to reconfigure their routines and communication styles. The ability to manage one’s time effectively, stay connected through digital platforms, and maintain a sense of work-life balance has become paramount. Employers are continuing to value self-directed high morale individuals who can excel in this autonomous work environment.

Key Point: Should you work from home ensure to create a distinct working environment and set boundaries that allow you to achieve your goal.

In the grand tapestry of adaptability, emotional intelligence plays an integral role. As interactions become more digital and remote, the ability to empathise, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships becomes paramount. The astute navigator of the future workplace understands the nuances of human interactions, bridging cultural and communication gaps with finesse. They are adept at interpreting nonverbal cues even in virtual settings, forging connections that transcend physical boundaries.

Key Point: PRG has recently launched a new training programme across the company in partnership with Astute Learning. All employees access a compulsory quiz that teaches the importance of respect in the workplace as well as how to recognise and show respect to your colleagues. This is an incredible opportunity and one which will help strengthen the morale and code of PRG.

As we look into the horizon of the future of work, one thing is certain: adaptability is not merely a desirable trait but an essential skill that will define the trajectory of careers and organisations. It is the compass and skill that steers us toward success in any sphere of work. To thrive in the dynamic landscape of our workplace, we must cultivate our adaptability – a skill that empowers us to embrace change, navigate uncertainty, and excel amidst the ever-evolving fluxes of the professional world.

Employers across the UK are expressing their confidence in hiring new talent despite consistent economic turbulence and as interest rates continue to rise, the labour market continues to refuse its pressure.

A recent article by The Times has sparked curiosity as hiring trends increase despite financial worries. Read on to discover the latest.

A concise and confidential survey carried out by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) discovered that positive hiring patterns increased between April and June despite ongoing inflation worries.

In the month of May unemployment rose to 4% but it was found that in spite of this, a third of employers were still optimistic about hiring this season. In an interview from The Times Neil Carberry (Chief Executive of the trade body) said that

“Businesses across the country are clear that they believe in their business and its plans…While the overall picture of demand from employers remains very robust, the more that can be done by government to articulate a clear plan for growth, the more likely it is that firms will be willing to back their belief in their own business over concerns about the wider economic weather”.

REC’s survey shed light on the unchanged demand for permanent and temporary workers between the months of April to June. Health and retail industries consistently express concerns about the scarcity of workers, which can be attributed to a significant decline in the labour market’s size following the pandemic.

Advancements in technology and digitalisation have accelerated during the past few years, leading to the creation of new job roles and opportunities in various industries. This technological transformation has encouraged companies to invest in talent acquisition to stay competitive and adopt innovative solutions, favouring increased confidence in hiring.

How can I utilise this trend?

To maximise the benefits of this hiring trend, it is recommended that employees take proactive steps to enhance their employability and marketability. Continuous learning and upskilling are crucial in staying relevant in a rapidly evolving job market, especially when alongside a precarious economy.

The increased confidence in hiring seen in this financial quarter is a result of economic recovery and job role advancements. Employees can maximise these benefits by staying relevant through continuous learning, networking effectively, and demonstrating valuable skills and attitudes sought by employers. By taking proactive steps, individuals can position themselves as strong contenders in a competitive job market and seize the opportunities presented by companies’ growing interest in recruitment.

PRG are always scouting for new and diverse talent to join our teams, no matter your qualifications and experience we would love to have a chat. Please get in touch to find out more about us and what positions are currently available.

In the fast-paced world of professional sports and business, achieving peak performance is the key to success. But what exactly drives individuals and teams to reach their full potential and thrive under pressure?

Enter Chris Bodman, a distinguished performance psychology expert and founder of LMNTARY Performance, who has been partnering with PRG for the past 16 months. Together, we have been unlocking the secrets to peak performance and empowering individuals to excel in all aspects of their lives.

With over two decades of experience in the elite sports industry, Chris Bodman’s journey has been nothing short of impressive. Starting as a Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach in First Class Cricket, Chris quickly recognized the profound impact of psychology on athletic performance.

Fuelling his passion further, he pursued a degree in Psychology and a masters in Sport Psychology, later attaining Chartered status with the British Psychological Society and becoming a registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This extensive background in both sports and psychology laid the foundation for his ground-breaking work at LMNTARY Performance.

At the heart of Chris Bodman’s collaboration with PRG are the LMNTARY sessions, which have earned glowing praise from participants. These sessions provide a unique platform for individuals to explore their strengths, weaknesses, and preferences through profiling, fostering self-awareness that is crucial for personal and professional growth.

Participants gained a deeper understanding of how their behaviours and mindsets can impact team dynamics, ultimately helping them avoid potential pitfalls and navigate team settings more effectively. This knowledge proves invaluable, as it enables individuals to fine-tune their interactions and become better team players. Alex Lang, Lead Principal Consultant, spoke about the benefit of the sessions:

“The LMNTARY sessions with Chris were absolutely fantastic, particularly identifying how I can play to my strengths in taking my performance to the next step. On top of that, the spotlight of my behaviours and mindset were ideal in tailoring how I operate within a team setting and avoiding certain pitfalls that may come about according to my preferred state of working. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to become a better team player, as well as moving towards the best version of their working self”. 

Isobel Astley-Cooper, the Lead Business Manager, also spoke about the impact the sessions had on her management style:

“The LMNTRY session I did with Chris was so valuable and useful for me to understand my management style and how I interact with my team. I have learnt a lot about how to communicate and have used these skills in my working life. It’s been a fantastic resource.”

Tom Selman, Director, also spoke about the affect on his personal performance after the sessions with Chris Bodman:

“Since working with Chris, there has been a huge upturn in both my personal and teams’ performance. It is fair to say that working with Chris has been game changing.

Chris has helped me understand my strengths/preferences and how to get the most out of them. Understanding your strengths is one thing, being able to use them without overplaying them is key and this is something that Chris has helped me achieve.

The whole experience to date has enabled me to unlock potential, grow my team and become a higher performing unit than we were before.”

In today’s competitive landscape, the pursuit of peak performance is an ongoing journey. Chris Bodman’s expertise and LMNTARY sessions at PRG have proven to be transformational, empowering individuals to unlock their full potential and excel in their personal and professional lives. By combining his wealth of knowledge in sports psychology with the corporate world, Chris has paved the way for individuals and teams to thrive under pressure, collaborate effectively, and achieve success in their endeavours.

The lasting impact of these sessions will undoubtedly continue to resonate with participants, inspiring them to become the best versions of themselves and reach new heights in their careers and lives.
