Challenges after Brexit;./ Political stability or instability. Political hazards exist in any place where BD Holdings does business or engages in commerce. BorgWarner Inc. works in the auto parts industry throughout numerous nations, where it is subject to risks arising from a variety of political environments and political systems (Malik et al., 2019, 347). If a favorable settlement cannot be reached, Malik et al. claim that Brexit might have a negative impact on labor activity within the sector. Furthermore, it was shown that external economic issues had a very significant negative impact on firm success. Due to the UK's damaged image as a global business destination, many businesses felt the repercussions of Brexit (Peter Goodman, 2019, 1). When doing business and making investments abroad, the corporation is subject to risks such as societal unrest, unfavorable government policies, and terrorist economic threats. Additionally, it works together on workforce development alliances and the economy alongside public sector leaders. The business has also established a department of government affairs to manage lobbying activities, interact with public authorities, and maintain memberships in trade groups and tax-exempt organizations. Economic factors While imagining this ideal situation, it is crucial to take into account the trade agreements that exist between both the UK and the EU. A Free Commerce Agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union is necessary to ensure smooth trade between the two regions (Li et al., 2019, 203). The discussions surrounding the UK's withdrawal from the EU were focused on ensuring that the potential economic repercussions on the UK's businesses could be taken into account (Pollard, 2018). For example, a Financial Times research from December 2017 found that the UK's income was lowered by between 0.6 and 1.3% as a result of the Brexit decision. The Brexit decision also increased UK inflation by around 1.7% in 2017 (Breinlich et al., 2017, 2), costing the typical British family £404 annually as a result. According to Crowley et al. (2019), the effects of Brexit also affected UK trade activities since it decreased the country's global commerce. It is necessary to claim that Brexit will have a detrimental influence on the UK's economy. The supply chain in the UK was thrown off by the uncertainties surrounding Brexit. The UK service industry was negatively impacted by the "no deal" EU withdrawal because they chose to spend a lot of money on backup plans and put off making investments (Graziano, Handley, and Limo, 2021, 1150). Similar to this, firms in the UK were forced to stockpile goods in order to avoid the taxes that were anticipated to be applied when purchasing them from the European Union. One other challenge is that the UK would no longer be able to freely trade in the European single market, according to the post- Brexit future. This is vulnerable to new non-tariff restrictions such border controls, customs inspections, and requirements for dual compliance with distinct UK and EU certification and standards. Technological Factors The technical infrastructure of the UK is fairly excellent but less enthusiasm for trade-in European nations has lessened the interest of their government to spend more in the technology infrastructure for the service industry. This may not be a reality of worry today but can damage the advertising industry in the future.

Furthermore, it is anticipated that the amount of trade between the EU and UK would drastically decline due to the strict standards for cross-border trade in products between the UK as well as the EU (Shad, 2021). While the TCA trade deal is still in effect, the new cross-border processes necessitate changes since they will severely interrupt UK-EU supply chains therefore create operational complications for producers who will be required to bear the responsibility of catering to both the market's requirements (UK and EU markets). The increasing operational complexity has a detrimental impact on investments in the UK since Indian manufacturing companies domiciled there must measure the expenses of doing business against the benefits of serving the large European Union economy. Brexit, the impending catastrophe caused by the United Kingdom's choice to leave the EU in a referendum held on June 23, 2018, is the topic everyone in the United Kingdom is talking about right now (EU). More than 30 million British citizens, or around 71% of the electorate, voted in favor of withdrawing from the European Union, according to media accounts (Hunt and Wheeler, 2018). It was also said that the United Kingdom is still fighting a negotiation to achieve a soft Brexit so as to not have a very high detrimental impact on both the United Kingdom and the European Union, despite the fact that the deadline for leaving the EU has been set for March 29, 2019. The urge to reclaim sovereignty or local autonomy was a major impetus behind the decision to leave the European Union (EU), which would free the United Kingdom from being subject to EU law and regulation. As a result of lengthy discussions, however, an agreement was reached that is detailed in a 585-page exit deal. The parties' long-term commitment to one another's security, defense, and commerce is also reflected in the scope of this agreement. However, the 'backstop' arrangement attached to the pact is of far greater concern to the United Kingdom. Kentish (2018) argues that the backstop may be seen of as an insurance policy since it guarantees that there will be no hard border across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, facilitating the free flow of goods. Although remaining in the Customs Union was a major factor in the decision to leave the EU, the current situation still puts the UK subject to EU legislation. Gender Pay Gap Even decades since the Equal Pay Act was put into effect, women continue paid less than males when statistics from other industries, businesses, or even inside the same organization are studied. As a result, research in the literature examines a number of ideas explaining why the wage gap continues as well as the quantitative and intangible components that contribute to this phenomenon (Ayisha et al., 2019). According to "Gender Pay Gap: A Cross-Sectional Study of the Effect of Workplace Entitlement on Pay Difference," even using statistical averages, closing the gender pay gap will take approximately 217 years (Ayisha & Schermer, 2019). Two approaches to this widespread issue in the UK include organizational initiatives and a change in attitudes around parental care. For years, women in the workforce have been concerned about the difference in median wages between men and women in comparison to male median earnings (Howard et al., 2020). Similar results

were reported in the largely male-dominated field of information science (Courey & Heywood, 2018). Similarly, there is an 8% difference in remuneration between the sexes based on information from 24 different institutions (Warner & Lehmann, 2019). Equity and Diversity. In order to ensure that everyone has the same rights, responsibilities, and results in the workplace, we need to implement strategies that are both strong and nuanced in their approach to equality and diversity, as Amartya Sen has outlined (Ozbilgin, 2013, 7). The idea, which has been blamed for both good and bad, has been the subject of heated discussion for the better part of the previous sixty years. Insight into its implications on productivity gains and problem-solving in the workplace might be gained via careful research. In a market where buyers come from many walks of life, it's important to have a wide range of cultural backgrounds to get a whole picture. COVID-19 UK The COVID-19 epidemic has had a profound influence on all spheres of society, including our personal life, interpersonal connections, and businesses. The utilization of the finest project managers is necessary in a post-pandemic setting. Project managers have seen a devastating impact on output as a result of COVID-19 (Bushuyev, 2020). Teams now find it more challenging to cooperate when working together due to the popularity of remote work. The process of creating and managing a remote team is fraught with difficulties, from addressing problems of cooperation and accountability to overcoming a poor company culture. The benefits of managing a staff of remote workers outweigh any initial challenges, including the ability to hire the top candidates for open positions throughout the country (Koch, 2021). Finding qualified management team for any commercial organization has been harder in the post-pandemic era (Luthra, 2020). The covid-19 outbreak has forced the project industry to drastically change its working methods (Müller, 2020). Project managers are negatively impacted by the pandemic in a number of ways, including working remotely, supply chain challenges, financial ramifications, risk management, strategic communications, and a host of other problems that are outlined in more detail below. Employees had to adapt to a new way of working because of the ongoing lockdown and concern over the spread of the Coronavirus. It's challenging to incorporate remote labor into the project industry (Koch, 2021). The project industry now finds it more challenging to sustain flawless performance when completing a task due to remote working (Suci, 2020). Additionally, there are difficulties with the supply chain. Due to the lockdown as well as social isolation throughout COVID-19, this has been a normal problem in every firm (Schermuly 2021). Businesses struggle with risk management challenges as well. The business, in the opinion of significantly depends on human capital ( Schermuly, 2021). In terms of management, Risk-taking, as indexed by the level of R&D activity, is inversely proportional to board meeting frequency and board size; these correlations are stronger in Anglo- American than in European nations (AlHares, 2019, 1). The findings demonstrate that in Anglo-American nations, the board's frequency of meetings as well as the size of the board are substantially and adversely connected to risk-taking as assessed by the intensity of R&D. Organizational structure and exciting experiences in the United Kingdom are analyzed in this essay. Financial institutions, underwriters, and developers all make up the sampled businesses. Board composition and its effect on the company's willingness to take risks are examined (Akbar et al., 2017). According to the article, each

company's risk-taking capabilities are severely curtailed by the presence of independent directors and a strong CEO. However, there is no association between board size and risk-taking.
