The solution for staff shortages
The staff shortage remains a significant challenge for many companies in the Netherlands. According to research by CBS, over 71% of entrepreneurs experience a shortage of labor. Especially in sectors like automotive, transport, and logistics, this percentage even reaches 82%. This shortage of labor makes it difficult for companies to continue their growth and optimally serve their customers. Fortunately, there is a solution: working with a staffing agency!
Why are so many companies struggling with staff shortages?
It’s clear that many companies are facing shortages of employees, but what are the exact causes? Here are a few key factors:
Aging population
One in ten employees in the Netherlands is sixty years or older and will retire within the next seven years. This results in more people leaving the labor market than entering it. Particularly in sectors like technology, automotive, and transport, this leads to a loss of valuable, experienced workers.
Changing labor market
Due to technological developments, job roles are changing rapidly, causing some job seekers to lack the right skills. This issue is evident in logistics and technology, where automation and digitization have drastically altered the labor market.
Decreased influx of young workers
Young people are increasingly choosing other sectors or extending their studies, leading to a decrease in the influx of new personnel in specific fields. This is especially noticeable in the automotive and transport sectors, where practical skills and experience are essential.
Increasing demand for personnel
The economy is growing, and so is the need for personnel in various sectors, such as logistics and technology. Companies struggle to maintain their workforce, resulting in vacancies remaining open for longer periods.
A smart move: Collaborating with a staffing agency
Is your company facing a staff shortage or temporarily needing more employees? Then a staffing agency can provide a solution. Here are some benefits of working with a staffing agency:
