The Calderdale Confidence Index

In this benchmarking study, we explore business resilience and the wider hurdles impacting employers and sole traders across our region. Within this report employers can access opportunities for change, discover how to become more resilient and access practical advice on skills.

The Calderdale Confidence Index surveyed over 100 businesses locally, and references the experiences and expertise of key regional stakeholder, Calderdale College representatives, and local businesses.

Report findings at a glance:

How to make your business more resilient:

Businesses are cautious about economic growth in the region, but there is an appetite for growth. In this section we use research and expert insight to explore the importance of confidence and how businesses can build resilience.

Should I wait to invest in my business?

There is a clear correlation between those companies that invest in skills and business confidence. In this section we discuss how capitalising on training and skills opportunities can help support business growth.

How to overcome a reduction in growth:

The most common business challenges are reduced sales, a slowdown in new business leads and expansion/growth plans being put on hold. In this section we identify the key hurdles facing businesses, and how they can overcome them.

How to upskill your workforce to drive growth:

A quarter of businesses need new skills to enhance their team in order to navigate the new economic climate. Here we demonstrate the important links between upskilling and business growth.
