The CBI’s annual survey has surveyed 248 employers and revealed that 51% expect to maintain or increase their permanent recruitment in the next 12 months and 46% plan to either reduce permanent recruitment or not recruit at all. The CBI commented that “As the Job Retention Scheme unwinds, it’s crucial another lifeline is found. A new short-time working scheme should be open to all businesses who might be struggling now, but who have a sustainable future after this crisis.”
