A MESSAGE FROM OUR MD
Readying for change is the smartest approach
Lesley Horsburgh Managing Director APSCo Australia
It’s hard to believe we are halfway through 2022 already. While all signs are pointing toward a slowdown, market conditions are still at record levels, with Members and the broader industry claiming conditions like they’ve never seen before. How long this bullish market will continue is hard to say, depending on what you read or who you listen to we are either hurtling towards a world of pain or coasting along a long albeit inevitable road to a slow-down. Whatever way you choose to view the recruitment market, readying for change is the smartest approach right now, particularly when it comes to compliance and legislation. While we currently have limited depth of detail on just how far and how soon Labors’ plans will impact our industry, there is no doubt that deeper layers of compliance are afoot and businesses need to ready themselves for more change. APSCo will continue to inform its members of such change through its ongoing calendar of webinars, committees and networks. Our reputation for leading content across legal and compliance matters has built tremendously in the last twelve months, thanks to our valued partners and is an area we will continue to develop in the coming years. The recent Emerge 2022 conference at Sydney Opera House is a showcase of our work in these areas, this year saw 150 professionals gather to hear industry experts discuss legislation, flexible working, market conditions, branding, immigration and more. On a lighter note, we are extremely delighted to have announced our awards for 2022 and look forward to hosting a night of nights at the stunning Luminare, Melbourne, in November. We have some very special plans and hope to see you there!
