HR teams have, for a good few years, hammered home the importance of mental health in the workplace.

However, can healthy changes to our physical condition positively impact our psychological well-being?

The manufacturing industry has historically been very male dominated, but in recent years, gender diversity in the sector has gained significant attention and leaders within the industry are becoming more aware of the need to promote equality and inclusivity in the workplace.

2022 saw an increase in outsourcing throughout the Facilities Management sector, with organisations within Europe, the Middle East, and North America upscaling their outsourcing initiatives up 50%. The sector also experienced development with integrated software, reduced real estate contracts and post-pandemic health and safety initiatives.

This year has seen hiring confidence increase across multiple sectors. Recruitment demand has soared in 2022,  which demonstrates real buoyancy in the safety recruitment market following the events of the last few years. Salaries have inflated by an average of 15% to align not only with candidate demand, but the rising cost of living as a result of the geopolitical state.

We have seen candidates feeling somewhat ambivalent during their search process, with many only wanting to progress their career in upwards steps on their trajectory as opposed to accepting offers at the same job level.
