I keep seeing indications that it is difficult to hire. Actually, that fact is kicking me in the pants and beating me on the head! I bet that you are feeling it too.
I recently walked into a McDonald's restaurant. Signs were posted on the door offering to hire 14 year old employees at $15 per hour. I have friends in the restaurant industry that are reducing their open hours because they can't hire staff. Target announced plans to cover the cost of tuition, fees and books for part time and full time workers. Walmart, Chipolte & Starbucks have similar programs.
Sysco CEO Kevin Hourican recently explained during an investor call that they are being forced to delay or "pause" deliveries to many customers due to lack of drivers and warehouse help. How would you like to explain that to your Board of Directors or direct supervisor? Do you think that those customers aren't finding other vendors? Do you think they are coming back?
The fact is that hiring educated and skilled staff is even more difficult. What are you doing to improve your hiring practices? It is readily evident that the status quo is failing.
