When staffing levels are significantly lower than what they should be, several significant problems can arise, especially in the context of deploying and supporting newly trained staff.
Being in the unenviable position of needing to recruit more staff, whilst having to manage a significant increase in the number of people requiring your support can lead to several key issues:
1. Increased workloads of existing staff
2. Insufficient support for new Staff
3. Increased staff turnover due to burnout
4. Reduced productivity and operational inefficiencies
5. Negative Impact on organisational culture
6. Potential compromise (unintentional) of quality and safety
7. Client and customer service dissatisfaction
To mitigate these problems, organisations need to consider:
Prioritising essential services/tasks:
- Greater use of technology:
- Temporary staffing solutions:
- Employee (welfare) support programmes:
- Efficient effective training programmes:
Proactively addressing staff shortages is crucial towards maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring the well-being of both new and existing staff.
