Downsizing your IT department might reduce your payroll and your operating expenses, but it can also leave you in a bit of a personnel pickle as your remaining technicians scramble to cover an increased workload. In many organizations, this change wasn’t even planned; instead, it was forced on them by exhausted IT workers burned out from the extra demands of keeping remote workers working during the pandemic. The accelerated transition into virtual collaboration and meetings has already compelled millions of technology staffers to abandon their posts in a wave sometimes referred to as the Great Resignation.

What does this mean for your business? At the very least, you’re facing an uphill battle when it comes to finding in-house replacements for lost IT employees. The candidates willing to come onboard will probably want higher wages and nicer benefits than they might have demanded before, potentially putting a major dent in your profitability. If you decide to go forward with a reduced team, you run the risk of neglecting key managed services such as data backup, secure storage procedures, and security update installation.
