New Zealand experiences skills shortage

Over 80% of businesses in New Zealand are currently experiencing staff shortages and expect the situation to become worse over the course of this year. The New Zealand economy has seen increased growth and businesses are employing more staff to cope; however, talent problems are becoming an issue as staff cannot be trained quickly enough to handle the growing number of skilled roles that are available. Skilled worker roles, such as managers, IT professionals and accountants are all in high demand, and employers are being advised to consider looking for overseas for workers who can meet their requirements.
