VGM Releases a Survey Regarding the Pandemic and Subsequent Labor Shortage

Published in Government Relations on August 02, 2021

You have seen them driving through the commercial district of your town. “Help wanted” signs are on almost every business’s door. In multiple congressional meetings, we have had HME providers express the difficulty of retaining employees. The labor shortage is real and actively affecting HME providers.

We have put together a nine-question survey seeking to understand the effects of the labor shortage on the HME industry. This survey will provide an additional lens to view the industry through and will help congressional offices understand what the labor shortage is doing to your business. Please take the time to complete it before August 31.
