Impending Crisis: Too Many Jobs, Too Few People
Good news! The economy is heating up. More jobs will be created, but there aren't enough skilled workers available to fill them. A national competency deficit suggests that we will experience a lack of qualified employees for years to come. We're on the threshold of the most severe shortage of skilled labor in history, and most employers are not prepared. Complicating this situation, recent surveys indicate that 30-40 percent of employees have already checked out--they're more focused on their next jobs than on their current responsibilities. Leadership deficiencies inhibit corporate progress, moving us into a crisis mode. Employers who take appropriate strategic actions now will gain a significant competitive advantage. Those that do not will risk extinction within just a few years. Facing a shortage of 10,033,000 skilled workers by 2010, employers who are not strategically prepared will simply not have enough people to meet customer expectations. Opportunity or Risk: Your Choice.
