This pdf talks about the ways in which gaps may appear in the workforce of a small business. This can be for completely natural reasons and out of the control of the business. Due to unavoidable features of a start-up, such as low financial resources, senior employees often take care of tasks that they are not always qualified to perform. Another reason for this may be for the minimisation of risk.
