Cost-Cutting Tip: Retain Great Supply Chain EmployeesHiring the right employees is expensive, and hiring the wrong people is even more expensive. The key to success, especially in the supply chain where talent is particularly tight, is to find and keep the right people. Nearly half of companies say attracting and retaining employees is their top challenge in 2018, according to the annual Business Pulse Survey by SunTrust Banks. Small and mid-sized businesses cite employee morale (59%), a shortage of skilled labor (54%) and higher than average turnover (53%) as factors that could impact their businesses' financial performance this year. "With domestic unemployment continuing to hover just above four percent, one of the lowest levels in a decade, many companies feel they are at a critical point competing for talent," said Jason Cagle, head of Commercial Banking at SunTrust. "Businesses are looking at all opportunities to attract and retain employees from offering new benefits to sharing tax reform proceeds. Less obvious is the role M&A can play to help secure a skilled workforce. This has become increasingly important as we advise our clients." The image below highlights other survey findings.
