It's no dispute we are all very busy at work these days.
With the latest ABS statistics showing Australian unemployment is
at a 48-year low of 3.5%, with still an abundance of job vacancies
being advertised, this is not surprising.
It is a curious phenomenon that as our population continues to
grow, and with the rise of artificial intelligence supposedly being
a threat to our job security, that we can't find enough people
to just do the work.
When speaking to colleagues and business managers in various
industries, it is a common theme that there is a universal lack of
quality applicants for all ranges of positions.
Growth is key to the survival of any business or economy. Growth
requires the staff to meet demand. And when demand for staff
outstrips supply, this invariably leads to existing employees being
imposed the burden of the additional work in the short-term.
