We\u2019ve always had talent shortages in sectors such as IT and Trades but the current talent shortage is next level.\u00a0 What caused the talent shortage and what can we do to mitigate it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Why now for a talent shortage?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Baby Boomers are\u00a0retiring<\/strong>\u00a0and a lot of knowledge and experience. We don\u2019t have enough people to replace them even with automation and lean workflows.<\/p>\n

The Covid pandemic has completely disrupted our workspaces<\/strong>. People are maybe reluctant to return to the office or they\u2019ve realised that there are other employers out there will treat them better (The Great Resignation is a common term). Some even took the lockdowns to revaluate their careers and decided to follow their dreams and start their own business or move into education.<\/p>\n

Lack of immigration<\/strong>\u00a0and reluctant to relocate.<\/p>\n

There are many other geographical, financial or world events that impact Talent Shortages \u2013 we could write endless articles about this. However you need solutions rather than further reminders on how painful hiring can be at present.<\/p>\n

Retention<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Keep the staff you have! They already know the company, job and team so when recruiters and your competitors are tapping on their shoulders entice them to stay:<\/p>\n
