Employment conditions are expected to remain difficult throughout 2012 as businesses continue to struggle with weak demand. According to the British Chambers of Commerce’s latest Monthly Business Survey, almost two thirds of employers (63 per cent) intend to introduce wage freezes or pay cuts in 2012. Nearly one in five (18 per cent) are looking at dropping employee benefits such as bonuses and gym membership. The squeeze on pay packets, the BCC said, is a sign that firms do not envisage that the economy is likely to pick up dramatically in 2012, this despite forecasts that the recession may be over by the last quarter of 2009. |

| This is likely to increase the temptation for employees to defraud their employer, some attempting to bail out by setting up their own companies in competition, possibly poaching staff or using their employers resources to fund their sideline business. Internal theft is likely to increase, as is the danger of employees poaching your clients for their own ends. Two thirds of those firms polled in the BCC survey reported that they would be operating at the same or reduced capacity levels in the first quarter of 2012, a strong indicator that businesses believe demand and the trading environment will remain uncertain. | |
