I needed someone yesterday
Yes, but I needed someone yesterday.
Is planning your human resources needs more or less your top priority?
If someone explained to you that hiring a new employee takes an average of 80 to 120 hours of work over 6 to 10 weeks, what would you say? Are you behind schedule?
Strategic human resources planning
Planning your staff turnover is a great way of ensuring stable production despite variations in headcount. “Spoiler alert, it even allows you to stop saying ”I needed someone yesterday”. We agree: some departures are foreseeable, others not.
There are :
- Summer vacations
- Sabbaticals
- Maternity and paternity leave
- Vacations and vacations
- Sick leave
- Leave due to the death of a loved one
- Restructuring
- Unsuccessful hirings
Here are a few questions to ask yourself in order to properly plan for future departures and hirings:
- How long do you expect the departure to last?
- Do we need to replace the position or reorganize the workload?
- Is the team ready for a change?
- Can the departure be planned?
- Can we map certain processes?
- Who is the back-up for each existing person?
Having a clear understanding of your needs and the overall picture of your workforce enables better strategic planning. This 360-degree vision enables your managers to get organized, anticipate movements and better manage change internally.
Planning your hirings will enable you to reorganize work within the same department. What are your real hiring needs? Who’s working at full capacity, and who’s available for new projects? Distributing tasks can often work miracles.
That’s what we propose in our Sandbox workshop. For more details, click here.
By understanding your hiring needs, you can then draft a solid job offer that will really meet your team’s requirements.
Did someone mention re-onboarding?
Staff mobility, however temporary, also means reintegration. And depending on the length of the absence, a simple return to the job is usually not enough.
Good re-onboarding is essential.
Welcoming an employee after a period of absence is more than just welcoming him or her back. It’s about introducing them to the company’s evolution, any changes in their role, and above all, redefining their mission (or adjusting it, because yes, things change over time). It’s also an opportunity to align expectations on both sides.
Smart planning means a successful employee experience. With the right tools and processes, feedback can be fluid, motivating and rewarding. The Agence Charlie team is here to support you in this process.
In the meantime, be clear, be human. Kindness and communication are your best allies.
