Digitally Bridging the Workforce Gap

Utilities and government organizations have experienced a significant talent shortage, and it’s not just short-staffed teams that are struggling — even fully-staffed teams are feeling the impact of inflation and are inundated with daily manual tasks.

By leveraging technology to make up for lost person-hours and empower existing staff, utilities and government organizations can not only increase customer satisfaction but also encourage staff to stay onboard. Moreover, digital transformation allows organizations to futureproof themselves from other workforce shortage issues, like a potential wave of mass retirements in the next few years.

One intuitive starting point for digital transformation is billing and payments. A streamlined digital billing and payment solution frees up time for employees to address more pressing issues and reduces the risk of errors and delays, improving overall employee and customer satisfaction.
