The UK is grappling with a significant skills shortage. If you’re subscribed to any business news outlets, spend any time on LinkedIn or have recently advertised a role, this won’t be news to you. Every man and his dog is talking about the skills shortage. No organisation or industry is immune and the consequences are being felt by both employers and job seekers.

The business landscape is ever-evolving; driven by globalisation, technological advancements, and shifting consumer demands. In order to thrive, businesses must cultivate a workforce that reflects the diversity of the society they serve. While there has been significant progress in addressing diversity and inclusion (D&I) in terms of gender, race, and disability, the impact of socioeconomic background on career opportunities remains a largely overlooked area.

In today's fast-paced business landscape, having the right people with the right skills is only half the battle. The other crucial factor? Ensuring your employees have the capacity to take on new projects and drive your company forward. After all, an overloaded, burnt-out workforce can bring progress to a screeching halt.
