Description

This report, Part A, provides an executive summary and case studies for the two part report, 'The impact of Covid on London's flexible workspaces (2023)'.

It tells the story of how COVID-19 has affected London's workspaces (such as incubators, accelerators, co-working spaces, serviced offices, artists’ studios and maker spaces), the challenges they face, how they are evolving, and opportunities for the sector moving forward.

It was clear with the outbreak of COVID-19 that there would be a major impact on these spaces. As such the Greater London Authority, along with the Mayor’s Workspace Advisory Group, commissioned Monday Works to survey and report on this impact.

Description

Access to talent is central to London’s competitiveness. It is important that all companies can recruit the skills and experience they need to innovate and grow. Tier 2 of the UK’s visa system is the main economic route for skilled immigration from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), where the position cannot be filled by a UK/EEA national or is on the Shortage Occupation List.

This report assesses the extent to which start-ups and SMEs, particularly those in the science and technology sectors, have difficulties in recruiting from outside the EEA through Tier 2.
