At the beginning of each year, we at Skillwork like to take some time to study and reflect on the previous year before considering the year ahead. It gives us an opportunity to not only celebrate our wins and learn from our mistakes as a company, but to take a forward look at the future of the labor market overall.

Over the past few months, we’ve been doing a series called “The Cost of Not Changing”, where we discuss various costs your business incurs from not changing the way you currently do things. At some point, those costs may become greater than the expenses you’re already incurring.

For the past few weeks, we have been exploring topics that ask the question: At what point is the rising cost of continuing what you’re doing enough to cause you to change?

There are many ways that not changing your current staffing strategy is costing you. In this episode of The Skillwork Forum, we discuss how your staffing challenges are impacting a main pillar of your business: your customers.

As a company, your people are your most valuable asset.

Change is hard. It’s human nature to resist and delay change, because it takes energy and resources to adapt.
