When talent is tight and skilled workers are hard to find, it's easy to land in one of three less-than-ideal situations:
1. You’re keeping positions open for 30-60+ days, which puts pressure on your current team and equipment.
2. You’re paying underqualified workers a low rate just to get someone on the job.
3. You’re rushing through compliance and onboarding to get someone on the floor faster.
Each of these shortcuts has a cost. And in all three cases, the cost is dramatically higher than a more intentional, proactive workforce management strategy.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be publishing a report that illustrates that divide. Watch this space for updates.
