FIRSTLY, EVALUATE YOUR CURRENT WORKFORCE
Most are likely to be doing an excellent job and achieving great results. They are contributing, collaborating, solving problems and coming up with innovative solutions to grow the organisation.

IT CAN BE EXCITING TO GROW YOUR ORGANISATION
Equally it may not be. There’s a balance between becoming larger and assuming more risk.
THINK ABOUT THE NEW SKILLS REQUIRED TO GROW YOUR ORGANISATION
Those skills that will move you forward.
THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ROLES

INTERVIEWING POTENTIAL NEW EMPLOYEES TAKES TIME
Job descriptions need writing, ads posted, interviews arranged, offers made and accepted.
