The Express way to prepare your business for a successful year-end
Here are some essential staffing tips for a successful quarter and year-end.
Assess your staffing needs
Taking a step back and assessing your staffing needs helps. Do you have enough staff to cover everything? Are there areas where you could benefit from additional assistance? One department may be shorthanded, or an employee may be on vacation during this time. Have a backup plan in case something goes wrong.
The best time to hire
The last quarter of the year is an all-time busy time for businesses looking for extra staff for the holidays to stay ahead of the competition. Here are a few tips from Express on how to make sure your staffing needs are covered:
- Start your temp hiring process one month in advance.
- Determine when each department needs extra help.
- Think about the peak traffic times for your customers.
- Get your permanent staff to submit their leave applications early to help with your planning.
Most companies need extra help during the busy December holidays – and seasonal employees are the answer. That’s why you need to start recruiting those extra hands one to two months ahead of your most active period. So get going now. Call Express to help you. It’s never too early to start planning.
