No two companies experience workforce gaps the same way.

Workforce gaps change based on:

• Economic conditions
  Tight labor market vs. high unemployment
• Generational expectations
  Flexibility, autonomy, purpose-driven work
• Company culture
  Micromanagement vs. empowerment
• Leadership style
  Reactive vs. proactive management
• Industry demands
  Seasonal vs. steady demand
• Geographic location
  Urban vs. rural labor pools

A retail store’s workforce gap will look different from a construction company’s.
A restaurant’s will look different from a restoration company’s.
Even two companies in the same industry may have completely different gaps.

And here’s the key:

Workforce gaps are not static.
They evolve.

What was your biggest gap 2 years ago may not be your biggest gap today.
