Wouldn’t It Be Nice To Face The Future With Certainty?
2022 has a new challenge coming. As the lubricants industry continues to battle with supply chain and raw material pricing, a new challenge is around the corner – hiring. And that’s a big one because without the right people your business will struggle.
Fortune and Deloitte report 73% of CEO’s interviewed said a skills shortage is the most likely issue to disrupt their business in the next 12 months. 57% of those CEOs said talent attraction is the biggest challenge, and with Gallup reporting, 48% of employees are looking for a change, Personio put it at a more reasonable 25%. Coming closer to the lubricants industry ABN are certainly seeing more jobs than there are available personnel, and going outside of the sector to bring in new entrants to the market is not without challenge as well.
The mix of a skills shortage, struggle to attract talent, and employees likely to leave is not a good cocktail, but you can fix it.

If the above sounds like a nightmare for you, start working on it today to make a more predictable and better future a reality. How? A good place to start is pouring a nice cocktail (well it’s nearly Christmas time isn’t it) and reading our article about the “Great Resignation”.
