<p>Dedication to Continuous Improvement (CI), driven by in depth understanding of processes, identifying and implementing improvement opportunities, and continually developing people, and their skills, can make high-impact, long-lasting positive changes to the way a lab functions and produces its work.</p>
<p>As an on-site scientific services provider, <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Scientific Solutions</a> employs teams of experts based in our customers&rsquo; own labs. By interacting with customer staff and processes daily, our teams are ideally placed to contribute to the CI activities of the laboratories in which they work. With a dedicated Head of Quality and CI, and dynamic Learning and Development programme, Synergy ensures that our teams are skilled and ready to play an active role in the CI culture of their workplaces.</p>
<p>In this blog, we dive into how - through utilising lean six sigma methodology - Synergy achieves effective Continuous Improvement solutions and results, establishing high performing lab support functions and improvement processes.</p>
<h2>What is Continuous Improvement and lean methodology?</h2>
<p>Continuous Improvement describes the ongoing process of analysing and optimising processes and their outputs. Often a CI pipeline is put in place, to help prioritise and action the changes required for optimisation over time.</p>
<p>There are many effective Continuous Improvement approaches and techniques, affording several options and routes to success. However, this variety can also make it difficult to identify and implement the methodology that will be most effective to a specific process.</p>
<p>One approach that <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Laboratory Services</a> implements and has found to be highly effective in a lab setting, is lean methodology. Initially developed for manufacturing environments, the processes and principles of lean methodology are suitable for a wide range of applications, settings and industries, particularly in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environments.</p>
<p>By utilising the lean methodology and CI in a laboratory setting, efficiency can be improved through the optimisation of flow, cost control, and efficient resource allocation. Overall, the goal behind CI is to eliminate time deficits, limit waste, and maximise workforce potential, therefore achieving a higher level of laboratory efficiency.</p>
<h2>Synergy&rsquo;s Approach to Continuous Improvement</h2>
<p>Synergy focuses on the lean six sigma methodology, embedding Continuous Improvement with people, not imposing it on people. Working from an awareness level with our CI Mindset training sessions for new team members, we then provide Yellow and Green Belt training to our on-site teams of scientists. The training challenges our people to make their tomorrow better than today by looking at their own role and workplaces, identifying and delivering improvements incrementally at first, then through larger projects and cross functional initiatives at Yellow Belt and Green Belt level respectively.</p>
<p>To drive innovation and encourage critical thinking and problem solving, <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Lab Solutions</a> empower and train our staff with lean six sigma tools and techniques, so that they can thrive in any situation and promote success at any client they&rsquo;re embedded and integrated within.</p>
<p>This progressive approach not only develops Synergy&rsquo;s experts and their competencies, making them Continuous Improvement experts, but also ensures we can actively support any client&rsquo;s process improvement activities, making Synergy&rsquo;s services unique in the field.</p>
<p>Outcomes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improving labour capacity</li>
<li>Helping minimise risk</li>
<li>Eliminating bottlenecks</li>
<li>Lowering costs whilst improving lab KPIs</li>
</ul>
<h2>Synergy Continuous Improvement in Action</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy&rsquo;s </a>ability and commitment to driving improvement through expert, experience-led lab solutions are showcased in several successful projects. Here we focus on our work with a large pharmaceutical industry customer to deliver process efficiencies within a QC environment: an example of how Synergy scientific services can increase laboratory effectiveness and productivity.</p>
<p>Working within our customer&rsquo;s laboratories and following their processes and procedures, Synergy scientists identified an opportunity to optimise workflows and drive efficiency across the site through the introduction of a Lab Support function within our established team. This Synergy-led group would take ownership of key support activities within overall lab workflows, optimising those activities while freeing up analyst time to generate further productivity gains.</p>
<h3>Example 1: Sample Information Management</h3>
<p>Process flows in Quality Control can be complex and highly varied, depending on sample types, the suite of analytical methodologies involved, and production cycles. Samples may pass through multiple teams and stakeholders, with risk of delay or error at each transfer point.</p>
<p>The Synergy team took ownership of the sample booking-in process - from warehouse to archiving / disposal - across multiple labs, identifying best practice, standardising procedures, and implementing improvements to increase accuracy to 96% right first time and throughput by 100%.</p>
<p>One specific process change - to capture Inspection End Dates at the earliest opportunity and include the information on sampling reports by default &ndash; removed significant and repeated time wastage from the administrative workflow, and:</p>
<ul>
<li>Removed a potential source of error</li>
<li>Enabled the Lab Support team to prioritise more effectively</li>
<li>Reduced the risk of backlogs forming, which would impact on downstream analysis</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example 2: Documentation Archiving</h3>
<p>Timely and accurate archiving of laboratory documentation is critical to regulatory compliance, including adherence to defined retention schedules for different classes of hard-copy information.</p>
<p>A3 problem solving is a structured approach to the definition and root cause analysis of issues within a process, and the application of improvement measures. Through an A3 project undertaken during Yellow Belt training, the Synergy team performed 5S optimization to declutter documentation workstations, improve communication between analysts and archivists, and streamline the documentation flow:</p>
<ul>
<li>Archiving turn-around time reduced by 50%</li>
<li>Improving KPIs by eliminating backlog</li>
<li>Removing identified compliance risk</li>
</ul>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>Synergy&rsquo;s approach to Continuous Improvement and lean methodology contributes to our customers&rsquo; success by targeting improvements that are meaningful to the labs in which we work.</p>
<p>In the examples discussed here, <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy&rsquo;s solution </a>goes beyond this initial implementation: our teams continue to work closely with our customer&rsquo;s own scientists and lab owners and are actively engaged in the organisation&rsquo;s process improvement activities. To date, over fifteen A3 problem solves have been completed by Synergy scientists working hand in hand with our customers, and five Green Belt specialists are deployed within our on-site scientific teams.</p>
<p>Our commitment to learning and development ensures our own ongoing improvement, with in-house capability to upskill our teams with recognised CI expertise and make a positive impact through our work.</p>

<h2 class="pf0"><span class="cf0" style="color: #000000;">Reasons to be excited about the future of AI</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the workplace, people will need to adapt to new ways of working and learning to ensure professional growth and success. While its full impact on the future of work in life sciences is still unclear, STEM professionals are more excited about the benefits than the threat AI may offer. </span><strong><span lang="EN"><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/salary-survey"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">SRG&rsquo;s 2024 Global Talent Trends &amp; Insights research</span></a></span></strong><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, conducted with New Scientist magazine, found that workers are optimistic about AI&rsquo;s potential to help them, with a majority (60%) saying they are more efficient today because of it. An even higher percentage (77%) believe they will be more so in the future.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;">While some people continue to worry about AI taking over jobs, a majority (77%) of those we polled were confident their jobs were safe. Fewer (64%) are convinced that colleagues <a style="color: #000000;" name="_Int_JrErMwAf"></a>won&rsquo;t be affected. Nevertheless, <a style="color: #000000;" name="_Int_Q2cSgTDP"></a>nearly half (46%) say they want to improve their AI/machine learning skills to future-proof their careers and earn bigger paychecks.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="color: #000000;">Indeed, AI specialists are among the most sought-after professionals in the STEM labor market today. The <strong><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.lorienglobal.com/us/salary-survey-2024">2024 Lorien Salary Survey</a></strong> found that among all workers surveyed globally, those working in AI received the most significant average pay increase (5%). This came despite the recent overall slowdown in tech sector hiring. AI engineers, machine learning engineers, and data scientists are among the roles enjoying sizable compensation packages amidst strong demand for their services.</span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="color: #000000;"><span class="cf0">STEM Talent Scarcity - Skills Gaps Challenge and Recruiting</span></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This demand comes as the global economy struggles to fill roles created by AI proliferation. According to Reuters, a </span><strong><span lang="EN"><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en-us/posts/technology/needed-ai-skills/"><span lang="EN-US">hiring gap approaching 50%</span></a></span></strong><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><strong> </strong>will occur this year, depriving many organizations of resources needed to advance their business agenda. The challenge is especially daunting in the life sciences sector, where specialized skills are even harder to find. Fields such as bioinformatics, health data science, and computational genomics require traditional AI expertise and an understanding of their application to pharmaceutical and medical device development.&nbsp;</span><strong><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/blog/AI-in-Life-Sciences"><span style="mso-comment-continuation: 1;">Learn more about emerging <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">AI </span>roles<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> in Life Science</span></span></a></strong><span style="mso-comment-continuation: 1;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">.&nbsp;</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;">Furthermore, as more MedTech products become powered by AI, the STEM talent behind their development must possess regulatory insights and expertise to secure market approval from agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The regulatory landscape regarding AI continues to evolve, and life sciences professionals must stay informed about the latest developments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;"><span lang="EN">So how can employers in the sector attract scarce and specialized talent when many other industries are also competing for the same people? <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/salary-survey"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">SRG&rsquo;s 2024 Global Talent Trends &amp; Insights repor</strong>t </a></span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span lang="EN">found that competitive pay and bonuses are not enough to motivate talent; other considerations are also important.

<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Benefits of AI Skills in Life Sciences</span></h2>
<div style="mso-element: comment-list;">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;">Access to learning and development is also a compelling benefit that STEM professionals value. In addition to learning more about how AI can help them to be more efficient, the talent we surveyed also desired training around soft skills such as cognitive thinking, interpersonal communication, and collaboration.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000;">Life Sciences and STEM companies should consider investing in formal training and microlearning to fulfill workforce ambitions. The success of life sciences organizations hinges on the effective deployment of AI tools and services to complement the skills workers bring to their jobs every day. By helping them adapt and unleash the power of innovation, better outcomes can be achieved more quickly and effectively.&nbsp;</span></p>

How AI is Transforming Life Sciences

<h2>Challenge</h2>
<p>A global pharmaceutical company was seeking to improve efficiencies across the QC laboratories at one of its UK manufacturing sites. An increased workload, peaks and troughs in resourcing needs, a lack of flexibility and a significant burden on client time to hire, train and retain a large contingent workforce all contributed to the onsite challenges.</p>
<h2>Solution</h2>
<p>Synergy first gained a detailed understanding of the current laboratory set up by performing a thorough gap analysis against current and future skill set requirements, in line with the client&rsquo;s goals and long-term vision.</p>
<p>Findings from the GAP analysis enabled the team from <a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Scientific Solutions</a> to create a project plan with the main goal of introducing a functional service provision (FSP) model rather than contingent workers. Through this model, Synergy&rsquo;s flexible lab services would support testing across all laboratories with clear contract deliverables and governance.</p>
<p>Synergy worked diligently through a TUPE process to transfer existing contingent workers with the right skill sets and the desire to develop their roles into positions with permanent employment contracts. In parallel, Synergy delivered a recruitment campaign utilising SRG&rsquo;s expertise and over 30 years of experience to identify the right individuals for critical roles to fit the new structure. This included an experienced on-site team leader who would take on management responsibility on behalf of the client team, whilst always providing the client with visibility and control.</p>
<p>The second phase of the project involved the identification of cross training and development opportunities to provide more flexibility and agility into the laboratories, and to address fluctuating resourcing requirements.</p>
<h2>Outcome</h2>
<p>By creating an FSP model, a number of key benefits were immediately observed: Reduced complexity through one single supplier</p>
<ul>
<li>Improved retention of staff; employees benefitting from permanent employment contracts, an enhanced reward package as well as specific development plans/cross training opportunities.</li>
<li>Better efficiency by having cross trained individuals who were able to support across multiple laboratories, ironing out peaks and troughs in resourcing demands.</li>
<li>Significant time saving for the client teams as all Synergy team members fully employed and managed by Synergy.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Minimising risk when increasing capacity</li>
<li>Adapting at speed to meet variable business demands</li>
<li>Harnessing digitalisation in clinical research</li>
</ul>
<h2>Minimising risk when increasing capacity</h2>
<p>When research projects are navigating funding rounds, increasing staff capacity by hiring employees poses both a challenge and opportunity.&nbsp;<br><br>Despite additional personnel playing a key role to ensure that the team has the staffing capacity to complete projects successfully, if the funding round is unsuccessful, or finances are generally under projected estimations or for a time limited period, taking on permanent employees under your own headcount can lead to redundancies, and subsequent gaps in research knowledge.&nbsp;<br><br>This can delay research as time is taken away from the project towards recruitment, and recouping gaps in the team.&nbsp;<br><br>To minimise this risk while still supplementing the workforce, insourced laboratory services like<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;Synergy Scientific Management Solutions</a></strong>, support scientific teams with insourced trained scientific and clinical laboratory staff.&nbsp;<br><br>The insourcing model means that your projects can be delivered using our flexible resource of scientists, enabling laboratories to expand without the same budget concerns or risks. Our service also offers improved financial flexibility as our teams can fall under OPEX budgets rather than FTE expenditure.</p>
<h2>Adapting at speed to meet variable business demands</h2>
<p>The scientific skills gap continues to challenge laboratories across the UK and beyond with limited access to talent -<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/talent-in-clinical-trial-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;36% of drug developers</a></strong>&nbsp;say that staff shortages are limiting the progress of clinical trials today.&nbsp;<br><br>Meanwhile, innovation is rife in research, with<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/pharma-innovation-and-talent-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;new modalities&nbsp;</a></strong>like cell, gene, immune and mRNA therapies rapidly gaining momentum over the small molecule market.&nbsp;<br><br>These ongoing innovations are heightening the skills divide between the current clinical workforce, and prospective employees, making it all the more time consuming for clinical research laboratories to successfully find, and hire the experts they need to fuel progress.&nbsp;<br><br>This challenge is made all the more complex by the fact that many aspects of research are variable depending on the evolving scope of the project, particularly in early clinical research phases.<br><br>Adapting laboratory recruitment to suit variable business requirements means establishing access to an agile, and flexible staffing solution.<br><br><strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Scientific Services </a></strong>support with this by providing trained teams of expert scientists on-site, while providing the leadership and management support to ensure development, to meet evolving project demands. This bespoke model means you can flex the scale of production according to variable business requirements without the additional add on time needed for permanent resourcing.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Harnessing digitalisation in clinical research</h2>
<p>The ways in which clinical research is conducted has irrevocably evolved post-COVID.</p>
<p>In 2021,&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.nhs-galleri.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the NHS-Galleri trial</a></strong>&nbsp;paved the way for the industry&rsquo;s use of healthcare data in rapid, large scale patient recruitment.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.clinicalleader.com/doc/clinical-research-site-survey-findings-a-year-in-flux-0001" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">In the same year</a></strong>, clinical research sites approached about new clinical trials using a decentralised model overwhelmingly chose to participate citing previous experience, benefits to patient populations and opportunities to modernise as the primary drivers behind their decision.</p>
<p>In the lab, robotics like those used in&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/lab-automation-opportunities-and-challenges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Novo Nordisk&rsquo;s Research Centre Oxford</a></strong>, demonstrate the potential for automation in streamlining work in the lab.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However,&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.abpi.org.uk/media/news/2022/january/report-pharmaceutical-industry-needs-more-digital-talent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent industry analyses led by the ABPI</a></strong>&nbsp;reveal that skills shortages in informatics, computation, mathematical and statistical skills are significant across the UK clinical workforce &ndash; and competition for qualified professionals is rising.</p>
<p>The global pharmaceutical industry experienced a&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/downloads/whitepapers/events-and-publications/whos-hiring-who-artificial-intelligence-in-pharmaceutical-hiring-activity-in-q3-2022/?utm_source=lgp4&amp;utm_medium=22-169055&amp;utm_campaign=clicks-against-the-whitepaper-hyperlink#globaldata-pharma" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">63% increase</a></strong>&nbsp;in the number of new job postings related to artificial intelligence in Q3 of 2022, compared to Q2 of 2021.</p>
<p>Harnessing digitalisation effectively without immediate or easy access to talent can be challenging without the right staffing support.</p>

<h2>Top business continuity challenges in clinical research</h2>
<h3>1.&nbsp;Talent acquisition and retention</h3>
<p>Global research organisations continue to face growing laboratory technician shortages, with the UK alone requiring&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/addressing-the-critical-lack-of-skilled-lab-workers.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an additional 700,000 technicians by 2030</a></strong>.&nbsp;<br><br>For those organisations that do attract talent, retention poses an additional hurdle.&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/addressing-the-critical-lack-of-skilled-lab-workers.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Technical Development Centre Director, Natalie Kennerly,&nbsp;</a></strong>suggests that graduates are not always &lsquo;work-ready&rsquo; or equipped for the practical processes, and fast-paced problem-solving laboratory environments demand.<br><br>Meanwhile, insufficient job classifications and an absence of clear career progression are exacerbating difficulties in retaining laboratory technicians. Few organisations are stepping up to combat these issues -&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://ascls.org/addressing-the-clinical-laboratory-workforce-shortage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">merely 39.6% of employers equip lab techs with continued education options</a></strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2.&nbsp;Skills shortages</h3>
<p>As the wider pharmaceutical industry seeks to digitalise, drug discovery and development research is becoming increasingly high-tech, driving a need for digital skills in the laboratory,&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/insights-into-stem-skills-shortages-in-the-uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">alongside existing skills shortages.&nbsp;</a></strong><br><br>While recent<strong><a href="https://www.abpi.org.uk/media/news/2022/january/report-pharmaceutical-industry-needs-more-digital-talent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;industry analyses led by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry</a></strong>&nbsp;indicate some progress in repairing more general skills gaps across biological and chemical science, there are persisting areas of concern.&nbsp;<br><br>Priority skill shortages include informatics, computational, mathematical, and statistical skills &ndash; all crucial competencies for a holistic digital strategy.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>3.&nbsp;Increased cybersecurity risks</h3>
<p>Cybersecurity risks are emerging alongside increases in digitalisation and pose the greatest risk of supply chain disruption across pharma.<br><br>For laboratory leaders, mitigating the risk of cyberattack disruption will involve prioritising both risk and cost when building supply chain networks.<br><br><strong><a href="https://www.mckinsey.com.br/industries/life-sciences/our-insights/pharma-operations-the-path-to-recovery-and-the-next-normal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">McKinsey&rsquo;s post-covid sector analysis</a></strong>&nbsp;includes the following recommendations:<br><br>&bull;&nbsp;Consider excess capacity in the global network to enable flexibility<br>&bull;&nbsp;Increase the extent of dual sourcing<br>&bull;&nbsp;Diversify partner portfolios<br>&bull; Adopt near-shore or local strategies</p>
<h3>4.&nbsp;Headcount restraints</h3>
<p>Alongside the complexities of expanding and adapting the workforce to repair skill gaps and strengthen business continuity, headcount restraints often mean increasing workloads, and minimal staff on-site &ndash; a combination that can work against employee retention strategies.<br><br>Alternatively you can collaborate with a scientific services business, such as&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Scientific Solutions</a></strong>, where the costs of trained scientific and clinical technicians work at your site and fall under OPEX budgets, and not FTE expenditure, enabling laboratories to expand their personnel and maximise the potential of their laboratory&rsquo;s space and equipment without the same budget concerns, or restrictions.</p>
<h2>How to assess risk to your clinical programme</h2>
<p>Agile and resilient business continuity plans start with holistic risk assessments that activate transparency across both research, and supply chains.&nbsp;<br><br>These risk assessments provide a nuanced view of where vulnerabilities, and opportunities lie, enabling leaders to both protect, and strengthen resource allocation and management where most relevant.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Step 1. Identify disruptors</h3>
<p>Identify and list the key disruptors most likely to be faced by your organisation across your critical functions and operations.<br><br>These could include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cyber-attacks &ndash; Is there a clear strategy in place to protect data?</li>
<li>Supply chain issues &ndash; Are there single sourcing vulnerabilities?</li>
<li>Research participant safety &ndash; Can you ensure uninterrupted care of research participants or clinical trial patients at investigator sites?</li>
<li>Ability to work remotely &ndash; Are back-up personnel cross-trained to conduct critical tasks?</li>
<li>Monitoring if workers are offsite &ndash; Are employees sufficiently trained to conduct offsite monitoring?</li>
<li>Data integrity -&nbsp; Can you assure that any unplanned reactions (e.g, medicinal transfer from clinical trial sites to patients) will be documented, scheduled and performed to standard?</li>
</ul>
<h3>Step 2.&nbsp; Estimate the probability of occurrence, and the level of impact</h3>
<p>Use risk assessment planning tools, such as a probability matrix, to reliably assess how likely disruptors are to occur, and how severe their impact would be on business continuity.<br><br>Key risks likely to affect clinical laboratories include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Geopolitical risks</li>
<li>Human capital and employment risks</li>
<li>Economic risks</li>
<li>Legal risks</li>
<li>Infrastructure risks</li>
</ul>
<h3>Step 3. Develop strategies for prevention</h3>
<p>Using your findings, develop personalised strategies for prevention based on your company&rsquo;s resources, and the potential impact level of occurrence on business continuity.&nbsp;<br><br>For those incidents that may be unavoidable, develop a resource of key mitigating measures to minimise consequences and severity of occurrence.<br><br>These could include seeking additional expertise to supplement existing functions, and bolster resilience, or investing in building them internally.<br><br><strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Lab Services</a></strong> support clinical laboratories to expand their teams internally while avoiding employment risks and headcount limitations. This is achieved through our insourced teams receiving payment via OPEX budgets rather than FTE expenditure.</p>
<h2>Why upskilling strengthens business continuity&nbsp;</h2>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/insights/guides-and-reports/2022-global-science-employment-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SRG&rsquo;s 2022 Global Science Employment Report</a></strong> revealed that the skills gap is pertinent for STEM business across the world. 64% of UK STEM workers, 67% of European STEM workers, and 71% of US STEM workers are currently experiencing a skills deficit in their workplace.&nbsp;<br><br>To be truly successful, business continuity plans should strengthen operating models, and their workforce in tandem, carving new avenues for professional development that align with strategic goals and secure continuity even across times of change.<br><br>Shifting priorities post-pandemic are driving an increase in hybrid work even in laboratory environments.<strong><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/insights/guides-and-reports/2022-global-science-employment-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;SRG&rsquo;s research</a></strong>&nbsp;shows that most STEM employees cite a good work life balance as the most important factor for them at work. However, without appropriate frameworks in place, hybrid models of work can be challenging to accommodate in research contexts. Upskilling and cross-training teams can offer laboratory leaders a reliable way to activate more hybrid opportunities, while preserving research continuity and agility.<br><br>Meanwhile, as digitalisation and automation become more commonplace in research, laboratory leaders should seek to accommodate improved professional development options for workers to both prepare for emerging skills gaps, and repair existing ones. Doing so will enable your research organisation to keep pace with competitors, and preserve continuity through new technological efficiencies, rather than being hindered by them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A laboratory workflow outlines procedural rules for tasks across every phase of testing, from pre-analytical through to reporting.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><a href="../../../../../../blog/leadership-in-the-laboratory---5-key-strategies-for-lab-management-success" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leaders in the laboratory</a></strong>&nbsp;face the intricate task of managing turnaround times, while also ensuring work at every phase meets required quality standards and regulatory requirements.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Laboratory workflows help leaders by outlining processes that reduce complexity and promote quality. They are often modelled after standard operating procedures (SOPs) and support regulatory compliance.</p>
<p>In this article<strong>,</strong>&nbsp;we explore:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>How laboratory workflows can overcome clinical challenges</li>
<li>Steps to improve a workflow</li>
<li>How to overcome a lack of time to enforce lab workflow improvements</li>
</ul>
<h2>Challenges in clinical laboratory management</h2>
<p>Clinical laboratories are playing an increasingly critical role in the quality of patient care, and now provide over&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/ie/en/pages/life-sciences-and-healthcare/articles/winning-strategies-molecular-diagnostics.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">80% of the healthcare data used by physicians&nbsp;</a></strong>in their practice.</p>
<p>While the demand for diagnostics surged across the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratories have faced technician shortages on top of surmounting financial pressures for some time. Meanwhile, breakthrough research in areas like oncology, immunology and genetics continue to open up new business opportunities, provided laboratories can meet the regulatory requirements and quality standards.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In today&rsquo;s environment, successfully balancing competing operational and financial priorities requires both resource flexibility to&nbsp;<strong><a href="../../../../../../blog/business-continuity-solutions-and-challenges-in-clinical-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">adapt to changing business goals</a></strong>, as well as a strong workflow arrangement to ensure unnecessary complexities are avoided, and that regulations are met.</p>
<h2>How do scientific services support workflow management?</h2>
<p>Unlike CRO&rsquo;s an onsite scientific services business offers laboratories the opportunity to supplement their workforce with professionals that integrate and work alongside teams. Doing so enables the insourced professionals to identify and flag opportunities to reduce complexity across routine processes, and enhance workflow management.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scientific Management services</a> offer laboratories&nbsp;<strong><a href="../../../../../../blog/the-benefits-of-outsourcing-laboratory-services-to-a-scientific-solutions-provider" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a range of benefits</a></strong>, including scalability. As a flexible arrangement, professionals can be brought onboard temporarily to meet a new workflow plan for a strategic project, without affecting headcount. Alternatively, scientific services can provide long-term teams that continuously support and bolster the wider team.</p>
<p>What are the benefits of workflow optimisation? We&rsquo;ve listed them below:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Improved space allocation</li>
<li>Increased adaptability</li>
<li>Reduced turnaround time</li>
<li>Improved laboratory throughput</li>
<li>Maximised potential of laboratory staff and resources</li>
<li>Reinforced adherence to quality standards and regulatory compliance</li>
</ul>
<h2>3 steps to manage resource constraints with laboratory workflow management</h2>
<h3>1. Prioritise the right workflow</h3>
<p>It&rsquo;s important to ensure that you strategically choose which workflow to optimise.</p>
<p>Start by listing the processes that have the most value for lab output, and the most impact on staff. This might be a common set of procedures that has a big impact on customers, or a specific work area that researchers have found challenging.</p>
<p>Once you&rsquo;ve created a list of the most critical workflows to optimise, communicate it with your wider team and get their input on which workflow would improve and optimise productivity the most.</p>
<h3>2. Identify current workflow challenges and obstacles&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Reducing complexity is at the centre of workflow optimisation.</p>
<p>This stage is about understanding where your key obstacles are before you bring in any resources to overcome the issue.</p>
<p>One way to identify these key obstacles is by monitoring changes in turnaround time to understand where delays are happening the most across the testing process.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>3. Assess capacity to implement optimisation</h3>
<p>Laboratory capacity to realise a new workflow will often rely on renegotiated resources, or redeployment of personnel to more critical areas.</p>
<p>Resource planning can help contextualise your workflow, and help managers understand how they can realistically realise their plan.</p>
<p>Strategically re-allocating personnel, and supplementing resources where necessary, can help improve productivity and reduce operating costs, helping you strike that critical balance between financial and operational pressures.</p>

How To Manage Resource Constraints In Laboratory Workflow Management

<p>Pharma supply chain challenges have evolved in recent years, as a result of global events such as the Covid pandemic, shaping a new focus on resilience over service streamlining for organisations in the sector.<br><br>For example, in 2020, when the pandemic was in its infancy, an overwhelming <a href="https://xcelpros.com/challenges-of-pharmaceutical-supply-chain/)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">70% of pharmaceutical leaders experienced supply chain vulnerability</a>, with in-full delivery of medicines decreasing&nbsp;<a href="https://xcelpros.com/challenges-of-pharmaceutical-supply-chain/)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">by nearly 50% in the first few months of the year</a>.&nbsp;<br><br><a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/life-sciences/our-insights/four-ways-pharma-companies-can-make-their-supply-chains-more-resilient" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Research from McKinsey</a>&nbsp;reveals leaders face a growing need to move away from sole sourcing for cost reduction, towards prioritising supply chain diversity, stability, and reliability to combat continued disruption.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Establishing a successful medicine supply chain means conserving lessons learned, and recognising the challenges still left ahead for the industry. In this article, I&rsquo;ll delve into the four, most prominent pharmaceutical supply chain challenges remaining today.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can expect to discover:</p>
<ul>
<li>The top 4 supply chain challenges facing the sector</li>
<li>Why businesses are utilising scientific services over traditional insourcing options</li>
<li>How you can futureproof your supply chain strategy after COVID-19</li>
</ul>
<h2>Tackling the top 4 pharmaceutical supply chain challenges</h2>
<h3>1.&nbsp;Labour shortages</h3>
<p>Rising competition for talent has led to many businesses being unable to scale at the pace needed to meet the requirements of developing projects. During the pandemic, this became particularly clear as workforce shortages led to bottle necks in the manufacturing process, inhibiting the potential of COVID-19 therapies and diagnostics with a shorter lifecycle.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some pharma businesses with robust connections into the talent market, had a greater capacity to scale alongside priority projects during COVID-19. However, no matter how effective the recruitment method, most businesses unanimously faced talent shortages, and high levels of competition with other businesses to attract the best talent.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While many organisations choose contractors to counteract recruitment challenges, there remain key disadvantages that hinder efficacy. Most notably, contractor use inadvertently increases admin and onsite management pressures, while driving greater rates of workforce attrition.</p>
<p>Onsite scientific services are proving a successful alternative for organisations across the pharmaceutical sector. Scientific service businesses embed a fully trained team of lab professionals onsite to deliver the work needed, while proactively managing training, ensuring compliance, continuity and back office support (payroll, HR administration).&nbsp;</p>
<p>An onsite scientific service business employs staff directly, reducing customer direct FTE headcount outside of AWR or co-employment risks in Europe. This workforce model reduces attrition, cuts direct and indirect costs, increases efficiency and quality of work and helps remove laborious routine core and non-core activities from the internal workforce.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/synergy-scientific-solutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Scientific Solutions </a>provides an example of this service in action.</p>
<p>During the pandemic, Synergy worked with Cignpost Diagnostics, a COVID-19 screening and onsite testing provider, and rapidly grew an agile rapid response team of 300 experts, despite industry labour shortages. Synergy&rsquo;s agile approach and capabilities are in part down to its links to the talent sector. Unlike many other organisations, Synergy is embedded within the SRG group and benefits from direct access to the best talent - this enables Synergy to consistently deliver responsive and scalable workforce support.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2.&nbsp;Sole provider sourcing</h3>
<p>While sole sourcing of suppliers has typically been attributed to improved cost efficiency, the pandemic laid bare the vulnerabilities it can create for businesses. Relying on a small group of suppliers without supplier diversification can create critical supply chain vulnerability.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A larger network of providers across multiple non-environmentally vulnerable geographic regions can improve manufacturing agility, as well as ensure supply chain continuity across times of uncertainty.&nbsp;Strained global supply chain relations over the course of the pandemic highlighted the growing importance of domestic and local manufacture for most countries and has incentivised governments to take action.&nbsp;<br><br>In the U.S, the bipartisan act of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cassidy-brown-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-create-emergency-stockpile-of-pharmaceutical-ingredients-shore-up-essential-medicine-supply-chain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Promoting Readiness and Ensuring Proper Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Reserves of Essential Medicines</a>&nbsp;(PREPARE) was introduced in 2021. The PREPARE act aims to both build an emergency supply of key ingredients, alongside incentivising domestic manufacture to build a more resilient domestic supply chain.&nbsp;<br><br>U.S Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D describes how the act will improve the U.S&rsquo; capability to react to future disruptions in an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cassidy-brown-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-create-emergency-stockpile-of-pharmaceutical-ingredients-shore-up-essential-medicine-supply-chain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">offical press release</a>, &ldquo;the pandemic has revealed gaping holes and vulnerabilities in our supply chains &ndash; perhaps none more critical than our medical supply chain&rdquo;. He states &ldquo;there is no reason we should be relying on countries like China or India for nearly 90 percent of these critical pharmaceutical ingredients, when we have talent scientists and manufacturers right here&rdquo;.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Meanwhile, countries across Europe are following suit. In an agreement between the Austrian government and Novartis&rsquo; Sandoz,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fiercepharma.com/manufacturing/novartis-sandoz-embarks-eu150m-antibiotics-manufacturing-expansion-europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Austria's government has agreed to contribute &euro;50 million</a>&nbsp;towards Sandoz&rsquo;s manufacturing upgrades in the country.&nbsp;<br><br>The agreement sees Sandoz committing to penicillin API production in Europe for the next decade and developing facilities across both Austria and Spain over the next 3-5 years.<br><br>In Kundl, Austria, Sandoz will develop the last remaining integrated antibiotics production chain outside of Asia. Sandoz will equip its factory with advanced manufacturing technology to produce oral amoxicillin &ndash; a key ingredient in the company&rsquo;s leading penicillin product amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (generic version of Augmentin).&nbsp;</p>
<h3>3.&nbsp;Visibility into supplier risks</h3>
<p>Although some risks across the supply chain are unavoidable, leaders should seek to minimise disruption through maximising risk visibility,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/pharma-rd-external-resourcing-strategy-outsourcing-vs-on-site-scientific-services" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">improving risk management</a>, and investing in advanced manufacturing and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/blog/how-ai-drug-discovery-technology-is-transforming-the-biopharma-industry" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI to boost operational capacity to anticipate and react to disruption</a>.&nbsp;<br><br>A growing number of pharmaceutical organisations are proactively making these investments, including Sanofi. In early 2022,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sanofi.com/en/media-room/press-releases/2022/2022-01-07-07-00-00-2362917" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sanofi announced a new research collaboration with Exscientia</a>, an AI organisation Sanofi has worked with since 2016. Sanofi&rsquo;s latest collaboration will see a focus on 15 novel small molecule candidates across oncology and immunology. Exscientia&rsquo;s end-to-end AI driven platform will utilise real patient samples and streamline drug discovery while limiting risks.&nbsp;<br><a href="https://www.sanofi.com/en/media-room/press-releases/2022/2022-01-07-07-00-00-2362917" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><br>Frank Nestle, Global Head of Research and Chief Scientific Officer at Sanofi&nbsp;</a>describes how, &ldquo;the application of sophisticated AI and machine learning models will not only shorten drug discovery timelines, but will also help to design higher quality and better targeted medicines for patients&rdquo;.<br><br>Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) shortages and logistical limitations across the course of the pandemic led to an overall<a href="https://endpts.com/new-house-bill-aims-to-shore-up-us-api-production-in-response-to-pandemic-shortages/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;increase in domestic manufacture</a>; enabling more organisations to take greater scrutiny over any vulnerabilities within the supply chain. While many processes still occur on a global scale, international suppliers face growing pressures to boost visibility to remain competitive in an increasingly domestic market, facilitating greater transparency.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4.&nbsp;Preparation for future disruptions</h3>
<p>COVID-19 is not the only unprecedented event to disrupt the pharmaceutical industry. There are multiple sources for potential future disruption, ranging from climate events, to financial crises. McKinsey estimate future disruptions to the pharma industry are likely to drive&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/life-sciences/our-insights/four-ways-pharma-companies-can-make-their-supply-chains-more-resilient" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a loss of 24% of one year&rsquo;s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization every decade.</a><br><br>Among the list,<a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/life-sciences/our-insights/four-ways-pharma-companies-can-make-their-supply-chains-more-resilient" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;cyberattacks and trade disputes pose the greatest risk of supply chain disruption to the pharmaceutical industry</a>. High levels of international trade, alongside international data flows and increasing levels of digitization drive the frequency of these risks.<br><br>Conducting thorough risk analyses of international suppliers, maximising supply chain visibility and building a geographically diverse supplier network are just some preparatory solutions to safeguard against future disruption.</p>

How to Overcome the Top 4 Pharma Supply Chain Challenges

<p>Insights from the latest Global Talent Trends and Insights survey, conducted in collaboration between SRG and New Scientist, have highlighted the importance of STEM employers managing, meeting and adapting to Employee Expectations and Trends and how doing so can help find, hire and retain the very best STEM talent.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Why is it Important to Meet Employee Expectations?&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Employee expectations, and what they mean to employees &ndash; and their employers &ndash; have a vital role in creating a workforce and workplace in which people feel they can be productive, perform to the very best of their abilities, and &ndash; most importantly &ndash; feel satisfaction and happiness in everything they do.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Managing and meeting expectations as closely as possible to what employees expect, factoring in the different and diverse values, approaches and expectations of everyone in a team, department or company, can ensure the career goals, skills and qualities of individuals align with the goals and expectations of the business and everyone within it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Being aligned helps to create and maintain a harmonious working environment; build relationships, enhance communications, and increase confidence; implement an element of accountability and realistic expectation setting; and, as a result, drive high performance and results &ndash; for both employee and employer.</p>
<h2>STEM Employee Expectations and Trends</h2>
<p>Historically, and especially in recent years, employees across the various STEM industries have been largely happy in their line of work, based on their expectations, if and how they&rsquo;re met, and their experiences.</p>
<p>According to SRG&rsquo;s Global Talent Trends and Insights survey, two-thirds of people in the Life Sciences sector are satisfied with their role &ndash; which is in stark contrast to other industries. As explained by Andrew Turner, Managing Director at SRG UK, &ldquo;A job in the life sciences industry is seen as an attractive opportunity because it is an interesting, innovative sector.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>Hybrid Working Trends in STEM</h2>
<p>However, the survey&rsquo;s results also suggest that change could be on the horizon in STEM industries, based on employee&rsquo;s goals, requirements and expectations. For example, the results highlight a clear expectation regarding working patterns, with more than two-thirds of people asked preferring hybrid working.</p>
<p>But, with only about 40% of STEM roles in the UK and Europe featuring a mix of on-site and remote working, there is potential for a clash between expectations and reality which could drive a desire for change &ndash; a point supported by data from Global Talent Trends and Insights survey that shows more than half of respondents expect to have changed job role at some point in 2024.</p>
<p>And it&rsquo;s not just hybrid working that&rsquo;s high on STEM employee&rsquo;s expectations list. According to Tyler Rostad of SRG North America, there has been a significant change to employee expectations since the COVID pandemic, stating &ldquo;The pandemic changed people&rsquo;s priorities and employers will have to take that on board.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>Top Benefits Driving STEM Employee Retention in 2024</h2>
<p>The survey results suggest that several key benefits are integral to employee expectations; expectations that, if met by employers, could make all the difference to whether the very best talent is attracted, hired and retained within STEM. These include:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Generous Parental Leave</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mental Health Support</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Health and Wellbeing Benefits</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Competitive Salaries and Bonuses</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Learning and Development of Key Skills</p>
