We need to be investing in support and flexible working for mature employees
MANY local businesses seem to benefit greatly from the talent and hard work of recruits from off-island. My experience of people working in Guernsey who have come from abroad has been entirely positive. But the cost of supporting a growing population and infrastructure requirements falls, largely, on the state and the taxpayers. Perhaps local businesses that benefit from these arrangements should pay a levy on each hire, a contribution to the cost of infrastructure and housing. This would also incentivise business to invest in the local workforce, its skills and productivity.
