Higher Costs for Employers
In late October the new UK labour government unveiled the 2024 autumn budget, aiming to “restore economic stability” through wide-spread investment.
To facilitate this investment the government aim to raise an additional $40bn in taxes through increases to:
- The National Minimum Wage
- The Real Living Wage
- Employer National Insurance Contributions
Working in an already tumultuous economic landscape, businesses are now faced with additional costs, adding to economic uncertainty and financial pressure.
Not only will compensating existing employees become more expensive, but hiring new workers to support business growth is also set to become an unaffordable luxury for many firms.
Digital Transformation
Also outlined in the 2024 Autumn budget was an ambitious 2% goal of enhanced productivity, efficiency and savings for all governmental departments.
Key to achieving these goals, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves claims that “digital transformation” will help the labour party in “harnessing digital technology to drive better outcomes for public services”.
Extending this logic to the public, Reeves then announced a new £4m fund to help SMEs to follow suit, anticipating that the adoption of new technology will help businesses to flourish despite increasing costs.
