Staffing Woes - Binding Constraints - Skilled Labour
In reviewing some materials from my staff, some newly hired to replace losses to the hiring frenzy in the Gulf where inflation of salary (and living costs) is rampant, I had a moment to reflect on binding constraints.
It strikes me that we are seeing signs in MENA of an emerging binding constrain on the labour side, in more skilled labour. (Parenthetically it leads me to have contempt for the frequent spectacle I see when I visit Morocco and more specifically the capital of the 'Young Unemployed Graduates' strike for government jobs, lazy pampered idiots, they need only take a course in basic biz skills and they'd get a job, of course not the cushy for life guv jobbie)
Perhaps to be developed later, but prompted by my being forced after a long search to hire a communications officer whose familiarity with Excel appears to be limited to the concept it exists. Well, she'll learn.
