Top Challenges Facing Businesses in 2022 Posted on December 30, 2021March 1, 2022 By Leigh Langston There are few times in memory that seem to have been so volatile and unpredictable for business as the past year. Globally the business world is changing, growing more digital, more remote, and ever faster paced. Running a business is always full of challenges, and 2022 is going to be no exception. But with all the changes that we are facing every single day, the challenges for this year are going to be even more unique. Here are the three top challenges that businesses will be facing going into 2022! Scaling Operations Scaling operations have never been more challenging than it will be in 2022. Businesses will be faced with a question they haven’t had to deal with in a long time: how to scale, digital or physical? The future of the economy appears to be online, but physical business will almost completely disappear, so what is the right move? If your physical locations are doing well, it can be difficult to decide. Entrepreneur’s Handbook recommends you consider your market cap and room for growth in both physical and digital marketplaces to know how best to expand your business this year. Employee Retention Keeping high quality employees at your business has never been as difficult as it is this year. With employees resigning by the hundreds every day, businesses all over are struggling to keep up with staffing demands. Keeping employees has never been more important, and turnover is always an expense that is underestimated. According to CMOE, turnover can cost up to twice an employee’s salary. Make sure that you are doing what you can to retain employees this upcoming year. Supply Chain Issues According to Flat World GS, the global supply chain has never been longer, more complicated, and more impacted than now. With goods and products coming from and being shipped across the globe, often being assembled, manufactured, and worked on in multiple countries. There is a lot that can go wrong in the supply chain, not to mention still dealing with a global pandemic. Staying on top of a changing and ever more volatile supply chain is going to be one of the biggest challenges that any business faces this coming year. Staying on top of your supply chain will be huge in maximizing your profits and fostering growth. As a business owner you are always looking towards the future. And this coming year is one that is surely going to bring a lot of challenges for business owners everywhere. Make sure you understand these three challenges that your small business will face this year and have a plan for how to deal with them.
