 Impending Crisis... Employers are not prepared for the impending labor crisis, a dangerously growing shortage of workers that is coming soon. This shortage will be felt most acutely in skilled positions, however all employment will be affected. Without a decisive change in the mindset of corporate executives and boards of directors, employers are seriously vulnerable. The crisis is not limited to the private sector; not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, the armed forces, trade and professional associations, and educational institutions – public and private – have the same exposure. Executives who prepare for this impending crisis will lead their organizations to a bright future; those who ignore the threat risk dangerous vulnerability. This preparation won’t be easy.
