CXO Survey – Overcoming the Skills Shortage Challenge

Thanks in advance from APSCo, Ian Knowlson (Talence Ltd) and QX Global Group.

By sparing 7 minutes to take part in this major (and completely anonymous) research study into the ‘Skills Shortage,’ you will be:

1. Helping the industry – since we will use the results as the basis for a major new report on how staffing businesses can tackle the skills shortage and ensure progressive continuity in the new normal

2. Helping your staffing business – since you will receive a pre-publication copy of the report

3 - Helping vulnerable young children - as a thank you, we will use B1G1.com on your behalf to give a vulnerable young girl in Cambodia a much better and safer life. Specifically, she’ll receive a filter to make her water safe to drink for a month, enough seeds to grow a month’s worth of vegetables. And a pushbike so she can get to school for a month, and get an education that would be impossible to access on foot. So you really will be changing her life in the most profoundly wonderful way.
