Labour Force

The labour force refers to the portion of the population that is able and willing to work. This includes individuals who are currently employed, as well as those who are actively seeking employment. In simple terms, it’s the group of employees and potential employees in the workforce at any time.

What is the impact of the labour force?

The labour force is a critical component of any organisation, as it represents the pool of talent from which businesses can draw their employees. Without a strong labour force, businesses would struggle to find and retain skilled workers, which would ultimately hinder their ability to grow and succeed. 

How can the labour force affect attraction and retention strategies?

Employees today are looking for more than just a paycheck—they want to work for a company that values their contributions, provides opportunities for growth and development, and fosters a positive and supportive work environment. By implementing a robust employee recognition programme, businesses can differentiate themselves from competitors and create a compelling employer brand that attracts top talent.
