Investing in your workforce through strategic planning and advisory can drive productivity and promote long-term business growth.
Director of Workforce Advisory, Loretta McGeachin, said that for SMEs planning to expand in 2024, its important to remember that your workforce is your number one asset.
“Enriching your business operations could mean engaging with our team to implement a strategic workforce plan, which can enhance efficiencies and maximise cross-skilling opportunities across the business,” said McGeachin.
