Take on staff shortages without falling short this winter

With virtually every industry competing fiercely for skilled staff, outdoor FM is being particularly hard hit as experienced staff retire, access to overseas workers dries up and young people staying in education longer struggle to identify with careers in grounds care. For many businesses, these challenges have reached a tipping point: At one of our customers – a large further education college, the head groundsman – a veteran of forty years – had been struggling to recruit an understudy and to find staff living locally. As winter came around, these pressures had started to bite. Where previously the college’s estates team had been handling snow clearing and gritting in-house, the shortage of staff willing and able to be on site early in the day was leaving the campus and its hundreds of students dangerously exposed to the risks of trips and falls.
