02 Overloaded staff - the heavy price of cost controls

Find out on the blog how excessive cost focus can overload staff, hitting productivity & profitability, with online business courses available to help

You’re very lucky indeed if, as a business, you don’t have staffing issues of some kind, whether that’s recruiting and hiring the top talent in your field, staff retention, shortages or overworked employees.

If this sounds like a familiar story, you might want to take a look at one of my recent blog posts, covering how prioritising profitability above all else means we put severe cost controls in place, with staff limited to the bare minimum in order to keep costs down… which inevitably means that the employees we do have run the risk of burnout due to heavy workloads.

This, in turn, has an impact on productivity and performance, pushing up staff turnover rates and exacerbating the issue, ultimately affecting your bottom line.

Long-term staffing pipelines is one of the common challenges digital twin business models can tackle - and something that we cover in depth in our short course on strategic HR management.
