An aging population and falling immigration rates already reduced our labour market and then COVID-19 made staffing challenges that much harder.

Key insights include the importance of the following:

  • Better planning and problem solving in businesses to deal with labour shortages, supply chain issues and customer needs
  • Getting employees aligned to the business - every business needs a solid team
  • Retention of key employees through:
    • Improved communication between employers and employees
    • Check in with your employees - why did you join the business and what makes you stay?
