HR in Review - UK Jobs: What to Expect in 2024 with Julius Probst

UK Jobs: What to Expect in 2024 with Julius Probst

09/13/23 • 22 min

HR in Review

In this episode of the HR in Review podcast, we take a pulse of the current labour market and try to predict what the UK and EU economies can expect in the year ahead.

Guest: Julius Probst

Bill Banham's guest is Julius Probst, PhD, European Labor Economist at Appcast, and speaker at DisruptHR Cambridge on Oct 24.

Julius was born in Germany but has mostly studied abroad. He did his High School in France and his Bachelors in the Netherlands. He graduated with a Masters in economics and a PhD in economic history from Lund University in Sweden. During the final year of his PhD, Julius worked for half a year for the European Central Bank.

After graduation, he worked for Macrobond Financial for three years, a macroeconomic and financial data provider. Since January 2020, Julius has worked as Appcast’s European labo(u)r economist. In that role, he is a regular contributor at https://recruitonomics.com/ where he writes about the UK’s and Europe’s labor market and economic outlooks.

Questions for Julius include:

  • How is the UK economy doing right now? There were a lot of recession calls last year, why haven’t they happened yet?
  • How is the labour market doing currently compared to last year? What is happening to vacancies? Why is the unemployment rate so low even if there is zero growth?
  • The falling number of job vacancies in UK: How many jobs has AI replaced?
  • Unlike the falling populations of Japan and Germany, the UK population will rise from 67 million in 2020 to 74 million by 2060. How has Brexit affected the labour market and the economy? Is the record net migration the U.K. had last year compensating for missing workers? Why not?
  • What are the key structural problems that are holding back the U.K. economy?
  • What is the outlook for the rest of the year and 2024? Is the Bank of England risking a recession?
  • If you could pass on one crucial lesson you have learned in your career - in one minute or less - what would be your top tip for HR professionals and leaders?
  • What is the single biggest change you think will happen in HR and leadership over the next 5-10 years?

Disrupting Ways We Coach and Learn with Naysan Firoozmand

In this episode of the HR in Review podcast, Bill Banham talks with Naysan Firoozmand, Global Head of Coaching at Hult EF Corporate Education and speaker at DisruptHR London 18.0 happening September 25.

Guest: Naysan Firoozmand

Naysan has 20+ years of experience of working with senior leaders across a wide range of public and private sectors. He says he is inspired and intrigued by human behavior and the influencing factors around why people do things the way they do them within their specific context.
​
As Vice President and Global Head of Coaching at Hult EF, Naysan and his team support the implementation of individual and team-based coaching to clients all over the world. He works with leaders in a very practical way, using his background in coaching, facilitation, assessment and psychology to allow people he works with to try new techniques and gain in personal confidence to do things with greater skill. ​

Questions for Naysan include:

  • The mission of Hult EF Corporate Education is to create change-makers by transforming the way they communicate, perform, and lead. Tell us more.
  • In a LinkedIn post from early 2023, you write: "Building resilience among senior executives is a global imperative. Countless think pieces talk about how it's a key characteristic and predictor of success for high-performing leaders. It's also one of the most common reasons people seek coaching, as people look for support in building their stress tolerance. But is there a point at which resilience can become toxic? I explore this in a new article for HR magazine." Tell us more about how resilience can become toxic.
  • In a post on the Hult EF blog, you discuss suggest there's a lack of clarity as to what makes for exceptional coaching. You go on to offer some key metrics to ensure one chooses a coach or coaching team that will make a genuine difference to their performance. Can you share some of these measures with us?
  • You're speaking at DisruptHR London on Sept 25. Your session is called 'Unleash Your Talent Through Coaching'. Tell us about the talk and what attendees can expect to learn.
