As the employment landscape continues to evolve rapidly, Omni’s latest UK Resourcing Market Insight Report offers a comprehensive analysis of current labour trends and challenges, taking into account reports from the CIPD and the ONS.
As we head into the end of 2025, the labour market continues to display a mix of stability and strain. While overall hiring intentions have steadied, confidence remains historically low, with many employers choosing to hold their workforce at current levels as they wait for clearer economic signals. Yet there are positives emerging-particularly in parts of the private sector where recruitment sentiment is slowly improving and vacancy pressures are beginning to ease. At the same time, challenges are intensifying. Rising ill-health and economic inactivity are limiting labour supply, and redundancies are starting to edge upward across several industries. In this environment, organisations are under increasing pressure to make smarter, more strategic workforce decisions.
At Omni, we help employers navigate this uncertainty through data-driven insights, flexible resourcing solutions and expertise in securing the right talent at the right time-supporting organisations to remain resilient, competitive and ready for what comes next.
