Recent research from the CIPD reveals that more than 6.5 million people in the UK expect to quit their job in the next 12 months.
One worrying statistic is that of the people surveyed 24% are looking in order to gain a better work-life balance.
What can lead to a poor work life balance?
Due to the well documented talent shortage in the UK, most companies struggle to attract high calibre finance staff to fill vacancies, often leaving positions vacant for months rather than weeks.
As a result, the workload created by someone leaving is often spread amongst the existing team, placing greater pressure on those coping with an already busy schedule.
The same can be said for additional work being created as a result of long-term sickness, transformation and change, acquisition or other projects that require extra time and commitment.
What is the solution?
Rather than risk a mutiny from your existing finance team, employers should consider the benefits of considering professional interim finance support to help ease the load.
And what are the benefits?
The question is, how under pressure is your team and how can you support them with extra interim resources?
