the Worker Shortage

Submitted by LRO Staffing

Even before the pandemic, companies in Canada were already having difficulty finding the right talent across numerous industries. While there is some debate as to what exactly has contributed to this shortage, there is no doubt that it continues to be a persistent thorn in the side of many progressive businesses who feel hindered by the inability to hire enough people with the right skills. While there are numerous benefits of upskilling and reskilling your workforce, in this article LRO Staffing, will discuss them in the context of how they can help ameliorate some of the woes associated with

the labour shortage.
