USINESS ?

Unfortunately , we don ’ t see this issue going away anytime soon . This is why business owners need to be seriously considering HOW they will be growing over the next 5-10 years . Simply increasing your workforce to increase production or service level no longer appears to be a viable or cost-effective option . Businesses will need to get more efficient in all areas and one big way to do that is look more closely at automation to help alleviate the issue of finding quality people . Whether on the production floor , in the office , or wherever , there are probably processes and tasks being completed that have a low value-add , but require a lot of time and effort on your employees ’ part . Figuring out what those are and finding ways to eliminate or automate them might just be your ticket to growth .
From what we are seeing , 2021 is shaping up to be another good year for many of our local businesses . The worst of the pandemic is behind us and the parts of the economy that were hit the hardest are on the rebound . As we continue to progress through the year we want you to continually be looking ahead and consider what might need to be done to better position your business for the future . If you ’ re unsure where to start or are just wanting to discuss with some further please reach out to one of us or any other Rea team member .
