Follow up previous session on 17 October on Megatrends. Following up publication on reduction in job turnover.
Have a few copies of job turnover report with me – plus other report on trust published just before Xmas.
Questions – now or at end
Job tenure is flipside of job turnover
Intentions – actual turnover rates lower so looks like this does not always lead to action
Age and length of service differences
Suggestion turnover goes down when labour market weak – but going down before
EPL increased post 98 – not greatly but some increase
NMW and job hopping?
Expected correlation because vacancies in part depends on turnover – does this mean turnover expectations are set to increase?
But age structure goes other way.
