Manager: Imported workforce, automation and outsourcing are the main solutions to Romania’s workforce crisis

The import of foreign specialists, automation and outsourcing are the main short and medium-term solutions for companies in Romania, facing an unprecedented  lack of staffing. This is the conclusion of Marian Hanganu, the sales manager of Romanian Software about the immediate solutions for lack of workforce.

”First of all, staffing has become an option increasingly taken into account by employers in the context of the labor market crisis. According to this year’s statistics, our country lacks over one million people who should cover different jobs, ”said Marian Hanganu.

According to Hanganu, Romania is crossing a real demographic winter and there is data that show us that on the background of migration and natural causes we have lost 300,000 people every year.

The companies have only a few ways to counter the lack of personnel that is still growing, and the import of foreign workers is, in most of the situations, one of the viable solutions.

Besides the import of specialists and automation, the outsourcing of certain activities and robotization are other options that can be applied to counteract the effects of the personnel crisis faced by more and more employers in Romania.
