2025 Workforce Challenges Summary Papers

Below is the 2025 Workforce Challenges Summary Papers, which will inform you of the Key Challenges and Drivers.

We are excited to release our 2025 Workforce Challenges Summary Papers. These Summary Papers are a result of extensive engagement with industry over 2024 and build on the issues raised in the 2024 Workforce Plans. We are asking for your input into confirming or otherwise these challenges and drivers for your industry. 

Our Summary Papers highlight short to medium -term challenges, such as skills shortages, attraction & retention, diversity opportunities, business support, and the need to adapt to technological change. They also explore long-term structural shifts, including decarbonisation, electrification, and sustainability.

We want to hear from you

We are inviting all stakeholders to provide input to inform the 2025 Workforce Plans through a survey that aligns with the content in the summary papers, which you can refer to for additional context while responding.
