Onboarding Optimization

The pandemic significantly disrupted the workforce in the United States, with many referring to the situation as the Great Resignation. However, a closer look at the unfolding events reveals that this is not the great resignation but the great reshuffle because those quitting their jobs are getting hired elsewhere. Numerous workers resigned to seek an improved work-life balance and flexibility, better remunerations, and a solid company culture—the inadequate skilled labor results in stress, increased workplace injury, property damage, and product liability. Although COVID-19 exacerbated the pandemic, the issue of labor shortage existed due to the retirement of baby boomers. Unfortunately, most companies have unclear solutions to solve these staffing challenges. Therefore, it is vital to analyze ways one would attract new talent, retain the talent and one's veteran workforce, and use practical ideas to resolve the labor shortage in the afflicted industries.
