Doing More with Less: Workplace Shortages and ERP

Remedy Labor Shortages with Technology

Increasingly, a familiar condition is beginning to appear within various companies in completely unrelated industries. While the labor supply continues to increase to higher levels, firms are finding it harder to secure skilled individuals for jobs. Specialized positions in organizations are being filled by employees with limited experience who are still learning their roles. Especially in the manufacturing and distribution industries, finding highly skilled employees is becoming a challenge as many have forsaken these career paths.

In turn, many companies are resorting to working within more restrictive circumstances and restructuring their organizations to achieve success.

In many cases, reducing staff and hiring part-time or contract personnel is now standard for many industries. However, this reduces productivity as manufacturers and distributors deal with frequent turnover and staff changes. The result has placed workers on the most unstable ground in decades.

With these developments, many businesses are going beyond the question of labor, into that of technology.
