The Job that needs doing


Deciding when to take on an employee is a delicate balancing act.on the one hand,if you increase your manpower,you might not be able to cover increased costs straightaway.On the other hand,extra manpower could free you to spend more time on other activities,such as marketing or planning,which sholud,in the end,mean increased profits.


A useful  rule of thumb for choosing the best time to increase your manpower is to ask yourself if you can generate enough extra sales to cover the cost of taking on that extra employee.If you will not  be able to increase your sales straightaway,you could still employ someone;but,in this case,you will need to be able to keep your business going until you have been able to build your sales up to the new level you need.It all sounds straightforward,but in practice it is very tricky. It is like being on a seesaw.One step in the wrong direction can tip the balance against you.


If you are clever enough,or lucky enough,to get your timing right,you will not want to throw away your advantage by employing the wrong person.The whole process can take several months;so finding you have made a mistake and having to recruit again can through your business off its planned course.Nor should you underestimate the emotional problems of getting rid of an unsuitable employee,which can unnerve the toughest of businessmen or businesswomen and unsettle other employees.
