Survey Results: 95% of employers ensure they have the right health and safety knowledge.

CITB NI has just released the findings of the latest Employer Attitudes and Motivations to Learning and Training Wave 16 survey. The headlines from the survey include:
 
• Whilst many of the findings from this report are positive, the survey was conducted fairly soon after the Brexit vote and its impact may not yet be felt.
• The upward trend in numbers of employers reporting skill shortages continues but there has been a drop in those reporting a need to increase sales.
• 86% expect turnover to stay the same or increase – in 2015 more expected a decrease in turnover than an increase.
• Two-fifths of employers had or had attempted to recruit in the last 12 months (up from one third in 2015). 67% of employers said that rates of pay for their staff had increased.
• 95% of companies could describe an action they had taken to improve the health and safety knowledge of their workers.
