Staff shortages
Staff shortages are frustrating. You want to offer customers the best service, but a lack of manpower makes that hard. Moreover, they place extra pressure on your existing employees, which can result in increased workload, reduced work satisfaction and staff absence. In the long term, staff shortages also have financial consequences, such as revenue that doesn't get invoiced or potential liquidity shortfalls.
Our management consultants can help you with your staff shortages in various ways. We analyse, advise and identify the source of the problem. Need extra capacity right away? If so, an interim professional from Baker Tilly can provide temporary relief – giving you time to tackle the real problem at source.
The three pillars of a future-proof organisation
A successful, future-proof organisation is supported by three pillars: people, processes and technology. When the balance between them is right, your organisation will perform optimally. Staff shortages are often the result of imbalances in one or more of these areas.
People
A pleasant culture, committed teams and good knowledge assurance are crucial to retaining and recruiting staff. Discover how to ensure productive employees who are working on the right things.
Processes
Are your work processes designed in a logical and efficient way? Or are time, budget or manpower being wasted? Discover how you can make your processes flexible and scalable for maximum efficiency.
Technology
Are you getting the most out of the available technology? Explore how smart solutions can support processes or even fully automate them, allowing you to work in a more efficient, smarter and more future-proof way.
How can Baker Tilly help you? From challenge to insight
We believe your staffing issues cannot be tackled in isolation. It's about the connection between your people, processes and technology. In these six steps, we help you find long-term solutions:
Talking the talk: we really get to know you and your organisation by asking critical open questions. What are your goals? What drives you? What changes and challenges do you see as an entrepreneur? What keeps you awake at night? Where are you losing time or money? What do you need to remain relevant in the future? We also facilitate conversations between the key players in your organisation.
Analysis: we identify the gap between the current situation and your goals.
Roadmap: we work with you to set priorities and identify the quick wins and long-term goals.
Advice: we advise you on which are the most effective levers to pull in terms of people, processes and technology.
Implementation: we guide and support you in making the changes.
Independence: we train your team to continue to make adjustments and improvements on an ongoing basis.
