The Labor Shortage is knocking, shhhh don’t answer…
The labor shortage is knocking and like the Big Bad Wolf, it’s coming in!
“The biggest problem with job growth right now isn’t too few new jobs. It’s too few skilled workers.” - CNNMoney.com
The labor shortage has been looming for years with countless articles, surveys, and reports to substantiate the fact that not just good help, but any help will be hard to find. Moreover, companies looking to retain their talent will have to do more than just throw cash at them.
“Companies that are looking at this are saying, ‘We have to re-invent what we’re doing here.’ Just paying people more won’t be the answer. They really need to be treating the talent market as a customer market more than they ever have before.” said Jeff Summer, an executive at Deloitte Consulting who leads the firm’s management practice.
Hopefully by this time you’ve built your recruiting and retention programs of brick, instead of the status quo straw or sticks. If not you can always call in the super recruiters, like Shally, Dave, Jim, Glenn, or Eric, at a price.
