New Year, New Needs – January

It’s a New Year, and you may find yourself in the position to refine your team roster. The beginning of the year is a great time to re-align your company and departmental goals, and a productive staff plays a huge part in making these goals come to life. It may be that budgets have been reallocated allowing you to add to your team, or on the flip side, your budget has been constrained, making cuts necessary. Outside of budget fluctuations, the New Year is a good time to check in with team members and see how productivity and performance can be improved. If you’ve been working with employees on an improvement plan, and you’re not seeing the results you want, or if you just can’t justify their salary based on their work output and value, it’s time to make a change.

Here are some guidelines to follow:

  • If budget has become an issue, but you still need the work done, consider a temporary or part-time employee to bridge that gap.
  • If you have recently let an employee go and need a replacement, be sure you think about why you were unhappy with this employee before searching for a new one. We can help you refine how you should navigate your search.
  • If you have room to add to your workforce, be sure you have reviewed your organizational chart to ensure there isn’t unnecessary duplication or missing skills.
