The 2010 general election is fast approaching, although the exact date is still not yet known. But what is certain is that its outcome will have major implications for the world of work and consequently for the work of HR professionals - no matter which party wins. Personnel Today has canvassed the views of a number of UK HR leaders and commentators, providing a fascinating insight into the HR profession's wishes and concerns for the next Government.
Key issues include the following: public sector cost-cutting; grievance procedures; illegal immigration; pensions; and how small businesses can keep up with the relentless pace of employment legislation.
The final possible date for the 2010 general election (external website) is Thursday 3 June 2010, with the actual date for the election appearing likely to fall in May 2010.
