Here in Central Florida and across the nation, businesses everywhere have been struggling to stay afloat and maintain operations throughout the COVID-19 crisis. It hasn’t been easy, and plenty of companies have, unfortunately, lost their battles and been forced to shutter permanently. Labor Solutions doesn’t want to see anyone fail or lose their business, so we are committed to helping area companies find the help they need during these trying times.
Labor Shortage, or Fear?
You may have seen articles or heard reports about businesses that are having a difficult time getting applicants in their doors and on their floors. Labor Solutions knows that we are all facing new problems as we navigate through the challenges placed before us by an insidious pathogen. We recognize that there are multiple issues impacting the ability of employers to find help.
While some cite the extra unemployment benefits provided over the last year to displaced workers may have served as an incentive to simply not work, we at Labor Solutions understand that this is only one piece of the puzzle. Some workers have been long frustrated with low wages and have appreciated getting a little more money from unemployment than they were able to get from their employers. This is a reasonable position that employers need to consider as they strive to restaff restaurants, resorts, amusement centers, and other hospitality-centered operations.
It is also important to remember that the pandemic has not yet ended. Even though the vaccination rate is steadily climbing, not everyone is willing or able to get the vaccine, which could serve to prolong the struggle to defeat the virus. Many people have very rational concerns about returning to work in close proximity with others, despite the safety protocols being implemented in most workplaces.
