Absolutely, but at present, no one knows what the situation will be. Most importantly, the current employees don't know. The fear from a company level is that these employees may choose to move out of the UK, leaving the company before the final status is known. We have lost a few staff already due to this. These tend to be customer service staff who are young and mobile. These staff were almost all recruited in the UK as this is much easier than recruiting abroad
