What does that really mean?
As companies continue to grow and expand their services, maximizing staff and looking for staffing efficiencies has become more critical than ever. This is where “Staff Optimization” comes into play.
Staff optimization is where companies look for ways to make the best use of their resources in the following ways:
- Create value by identifying the highest and best uses (HBUs) of their employees, and having staff members focus on these.
- Optimize time of current employees through the utilization of virtual employees, whose cost are lower and variable based on volume.
- Delegate more work by identifying the tasks that detract your employees from their HBUs and utilize virtual employees to supplement these “lower” value tasks.
- Reduce the need to hire additional staff to meet the demand of company growth, as staff optimization provided additional virtual employees and increases employee productivity.
- Increase successful hiring practices by finding the “right” people for the “right” jobs doing the “right” tasks.
- Establish a connection between staff efforts and company success by linking them to the higher end tasks and creating an objective platform for personnel evaluation.
- Greater individual and organizational productivity
- More efficient (and profitable) use of your employees’ time
- Increased employee morale and job satisfaction
- Decreased turnover
- Higher customer satisfaction and greater profitability
