Thank you for your valued input, I thought labour laws & regulations falls under EEF which same as Environmental conditions.
Environmental Conditions
External conditions strongly influence recruitment. Changes in the labour market and the challenges affect recruiting. The unemployment rate, the pace of the economy, spot shortages in specific skills, the size of the labour force, labour laws, and the recruiting activities of other employers—all of these factors affect the recruiter’s efforts.
Faced with a labour market that had a severe shortage of experienced drivers, Coastal Pacific Xpress Inc, a Surrey, British Columbia–based long-haul trucking firm, increased the pay of its owner-operators by 45 percent in four months to attract more recruits.19
Although these factors are considered in human resource planning, the economic environment can change quickly after the plan is finalized. To be sure that the plan’s economic assumptions remain valid, recruiters can check three fast-changing measures.
1. Leading Economic Indicators
Statistics Canada routinely publishes the direction of the leading indicators. The economic indices suggest the future course of the national economy. If these indices signal a sudden downturn in the economy, recruiting plans may have to be modified
2. Predicted versus Actual Sales
Since human resource plans are partially based upon the firm’s predicted sales, variations between actual and predicted sales may indicate that these plans also are inaccurate. Thus, recruiting efforts may need to be changed accordingly.
3. Employment Statistics
Statistics Canada routinely reports various employment statistics. Periodically, it produces reports on the state of employment in different industry sectors.
Employers can also monitor competition for specific job groups by looking at the ads in major newspapers. For clerical and production workers, who are usually recruited on a local basis, the human resource department may want to create its own ads index to monitor local changes in ads.
Organizations worldwide are likely to face a spiraling employee attrition rate over the next decade or so
