Post Brexit | Research reveals just 2% of employers are comfortable with new immigration rules

Research from background screening and identity services company Sterling has revealed that an overwhelming majority of employers don’t feel comfortable with the new immigration rules which could potentially be putting them at risk when it comes to the recruitment and retention of workers.

During Sterling’s webinar, ‘Brexit: what employers need to know’, produced in conjunction with immigration law firm, Fragomen, just 2% of attendees stated that they feel comfortable with the new immigration rules post Brexit, with 84% experiencing some level of uncertainty. With the navigation of Covid-19 requiring so much attention for businesses, the last minute nature of the Brexit deal, and the fact that many details are yet to be finalised, it is perhaps unsurprising that so many employers are unsure about the new immigration rules.
