Issues for 2022
A big thank you to those of you who completed our survey, last month, of the key business issues you are facing in 2022.
Your Top Three issues are:
- Recruitment and Retention of Staff including Hybrid working and Work/Life Balance
- Upskilling your Workforce
- Lack of Time (not enough hours in the day)
I will cover these issues in our forthcoming workshops and newsletters but, first, some general comments about the business environment.
Staff and customers are a key asset of our businesses. To my mind, it’s all about people, their expectations, and keeping them happy.
With Hybrid working having come in during the Pandemic, it will be extremely difficult to go to the office five days a week. Flexibility and automation are the key to improving your team’s productivity.
A very useful exercise I get clients to do is to draw their organisation chart in three years’ time, look at it now and map your people across. What new skills will they need and how will they acquire them?
There are not enough hours in the day. We are constantly fighting the Time Thief – see the following two-minute Infographic Automation:
