The way businesses run has changed. The pandemic caused widespread social and economic impact on the workforce. From The Great Resignation to the rise in labor unionization efforts at organizations like Amazon, The New York Times, and John Deere’s 2021 strike action, a growing number of workers are sending a clear sign to employers that working conditions need to be better.
Business continuity and agility aren’t possible without the right people to get the job done, yet it’s become more difficult to retain workers and maintain operational efficiency.
When leaders don’t have visibility into their workforce performance, worker retention and labor costs are hard to control. Without the right systems in place to match labor to demand, organizations can’t keep up with changing business conditions either.
Workers are likely to jump ship if they don’t have a predictable schedule that supports their wellness and lifestyle. Not to mention, growing compliance complexity opens organizations up to increased risk and difficulty keeping up with ever-changing requirements.
