The Cost of Being Understaffed
The costs of being understaffed are many. Employees who are overworked are more likely to make mistakes. Decreased quality can be poor reviews on products or lower sales. Additionally, it can affect your company’s reputation. All of this can hurt your company’s ability to acquire new customers or attract new employees. Overworked, stressed employees are also more likely to leave. Having a tense work environment can create unnecessary conflicts. When employee satisfaction is down, work suffers and the overall culture can downturn.
Time is of the Essence
Part of the issue with being understaffed is that burnout can happen quickly. In fact, according to Havard Business Review, 50% of managers already feel burnt out. Each day that goes by current employees feel the effects. Because it can take time to hire, on average 44 days, it is vital to start the process ASAP. The longer it continues, the higher the risk of losing morale, good employees, and not meeting quotas. Chronic understaffing is only chronic when management doesn’t take action. All of these things can be avoided in ways that make sense for your company.
