Although 2021 still presented significant growth opportunities over these six months—particularly for small HVAC businesses—we have seen a steady decline in the growth probability for this particular group, from 45% two years ago to 22% over the past six months. Moreover, this approximate 23% decrease is visible across all midsize and small companies.
We discovered that the average company using the BuildOps platform grows 10.6% faster than a company that uses other software or no software at all (Based on employee growth numbers within a 2-year period - LinkedIn supplied data).
The number of companies that have lost employees has varied from 12% to 15% over the past two years. The end of the pandemic presented both growth opportunities and volatility due to employees leaving or being let go. Comparing 6 months to two years ago reveals that there is more stability now with fewer companies losing their workers.
