Utilize the employee resources you‘ve got, before trying to hire new ones
As organizations continue to face the challenges of a tight labor market, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to make the most of the resources they already have. One way to do this is by utilizing internal resources before looking to hire new employees.
One of the biggest reasons why organizations should avoid hiring new employees is the time and expense it takes to bring someone new on board. The process of recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new employees can take months, and it can be costly to pay for advertising, recruiting fees, and other expenses associated with finding new hires.
Another reason to avoid hiring new employees is the long and steep onboarding process. Even after a new employee has been hired, it can take months to get them up to speed and fully integrated into the organization. This can be a significant drain on the resources of the company, as it takes time and resources away from other important tasks and projects.
