INADEQUATE STAFFING – Need an Expert

DESCRIPTION:

Staffing is an important step to bringing better efficiency and effectiveness in the work process. The goal of the exercise is to handle staffing requirements with an existing set of talent. Numerous consulting companies offer staff augmentation services. It has been estimated that staff augmentation as an industry will reach $45 billion in 2010.

CONSEQUENCES:

• Problems might exceed the scale of your workforce
• Staff is under intense pressure to perform beyond their capability
• Too much $$$ spent on insufficient expertise
• Hard to know where to look and retain those you get
