Growing again? Outsourcing can provide the answer

There is no doubt that the last couple of years has been difficult for individuals and businesses, but with light at the end of the tunnel, many businesses are now faced with the challenge of attracting and holding onto new members of their team. Much has been written about skills shortages and the difficulty in finding the right people to help businesses grow and prosper, building back the lost time.

 

It is not only the difficulty in finding the right skills, but the costs of attracting and retaining them – research suggests a wide range of costs from a few hundred pounds to over £10,000 – but it is not just the cost of attraction, but the associated time, loss of productivity that all need to be considered. The actual cost of employment is increasing as well, with National Insurance due to raise very soon. Added to this the potential workforce is re-evaluating post-pandemic life with pay not the attraction and retention lever it previously was. Creating meaningful packages that ensures long-term commitment from new employees – all adds to the challenge that business have in growing again.

 

Many operations are having to re-consider how they deliver great service and build on the solid foundations they already have, ensuring they can grow their business, but without any loss of quality service delivery, whilst balancing the cost of operation and keeping it simple!
