Staffing Requirements

• Many organizations, such as health care, correctional institutions and government, have staffing requirements to ensure the safety of employees and people in their care. Vacancies must be filled to meet staffing requirements determined by state or federal laws.
  
  

Production

• Unfilled vacancies can cause production levels to decline or stop, which can reduce an organization's profitability.
  
  

Workloads

• Often supervisors or employees are responsible for the duties related to the vacancy. This can increase employee workloads, cause stress and require overtime.
  
  

Performance

• Increasing workloads of other employees can result in overall performance declining. Employees handling additional responsibilities to accomplish required tasks of both jobs can result in some duties not being accomplished, or being accomplished unsatisfactorily.
  
  

Benefits

• Because each job function can be critical to the success of an organization, filling vacancies will allow employees to be more productive and result is achieving revenue or production goals established.
