Labor Market Trends and Impact on Procurement


Webinar Summary

With labor costs, which includes employee wages, benefits, payroll and other related taxes, account for as much as 70% of total business costs, many organizations are feeling the pressure to do even more with less—fewer employees, fewer resources, and smaller budgets. As fears of recessionary pressure continues to loom, many companies are left wondering how to reduce annual costs of labor without gutting their workforce, slashing employee hours, or making other unpopular decisions. Government officials too are closely watching the labor market, and wages in particular, to gauge what additional measures they need to take to keep the persistently high inflation under check. While goods price increases that are tied to supply chain snarls are beginning to fade, central bankers are worried that rapid pay gains could keep services costs rising rapidly. However, there has been some good news with the US wage gains cooling in the second quarter of this year according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of July. To understand more about how the latest labor market trends can impact your business, join our webinar “Labor Market Trends and Impact on Procurement”. Our experts will discuss the latest developments in the labor markets, how it impacts the procurement function of different businesses, and best practices to mitigate risks.
