It all started in the United States, where companies have been facing a labour shortage since 2021. According to experts, this shortage is the result of many, often interrelated, reasons. While this phenomenon is not expected to last, it can serve as a springboard for your business if you are considering outsourcing. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Resignation: What is it?<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to Wikipedia, while from the 2000s until 2019, the resignation rate in the US had never exceeded 2.4% of workers per month, the Great Resignation began to gain enough momentum to create a lasting impression as from July 2020. Indeed, following the Covid-19 pandemic, 4.5 million Americans dissatisfied with their jobs or pay left their jobs, peaking in November 2021. The Food service and retail sectors are the most affected.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the trend has gradually subsided, a McKinsey survey reveals that 40% of the 5,774 respondents are still quite likely to leave their jobs in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outsourcing to bounce back from the Great Resignation<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Great Resignation is a phenomenon that is also spreading in Europe. But it does not have to be a fatality. Thanks to outsourcing, this movement can be muted while the company continues to produce and grow. Indeed, outsourcing is now a sound and reliable business strategy that will benefit companies that want to prepare for labour shortages in a rational way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Achieve your profitability goals through outsourcing<\/span><\/h2>\n

When the number of employees gradually decreases, work falls behind or stops moving. How can a company grow if there is no one available to take on, for example, time-consuming but essential tasks? How can it generate revenue and profits if one link in its production chain is weakened? What’s more, as each employee leaves, so does the knowledge. The following problems then crops up: Time is of the essence, traditional recruitment is expensive, not to mention the time needed to train new recruits before they are operational. <\/span><\/p>\n
