For any business, determining the right path towards achieving growth targets often keeps managers awake at night. Key goals include finding skilled labor to handle the workload and having the revenue on hand to be able to scale operations to adjust to customer demands. Ideally, companies that are in it for the long haul embrace proactive strategies that allow them to meet challenges head on and avoid negative outcomes that impact the bottom line.
When your company is just starting out you likely have a small team of employees that tackle everything on their own. As business expands, it’s a good time to reconsider 100% manual operations and invest in automation for one or more processes. First off, with an increasing shortage of available labor it’s difficult to find employees, and once they are on board, it can often be hard to get them to stay.
