"Almost half of the companies in the Mittelstand are facing the challenge of a shortage of skilled workers. For some companies, the search for qualified personnel has even become a matter of survival", reported Prof. Dr Dr h.c. Friederike Welter (IfM Bonn/University of Siegen) at the “RKW Impulse 2024” event in Berlin at the beginning of November.
She said that one effective strategy for countering the shortage of skilled workers could therefore be cross-company collaboration. Digital tools that facilitate external networking are helpful in this regard.
