HR Community workshop to support those at risk of redundancy
The HR community were joined by BEIS officials who presented the opportunities available to 'at risk of redundancy' sectors on the Talent Retention Scheme.
BEIS has invested over £1m into the TRS. The high level aims of the scheme are:
1. To protect talent in the industry and re-deploy those individuals to other parts of the sector, where roles/skills are needed
2. To enable individuals from at risk sectors (including retail), with overlapping competencies, to be re-deployed within the sector, where roles and their skills are needed
The scheme is funded until end of the financial year, free to use for individuals and companies. Over 30% of the roles on the portal are for non construction workers (e.g. customer services, sales, HR, and project management).
