Small & Medium Businesses-Prepare and Plan your staffing needs now before the madness begins!

With the wet season well and truly set in, a little late but here none the less now is a good time to start planning and giving serious thought to your staffing needs for the dry season and beyond.

Some huge projects will be ramping up over the next few months in Darwin so now is the time to plan and recruit for good staff. Not everyone wants to work 60 hours per week and not everyone is chasing the Inpex work (a lot are but don’t have the experience that’s needed)

Some people want long term steady options, career paths and most importantly a work/life balance. Now is the time to look at those people and secure them for your business before the madness begins!

What to do now?

• ·Develop good job descriptions and performance plans
• ·Be realistic about salaries
• ·Decide if you would be prepared to relocate from interstate as this can give you some stability- Talk to one of our consultants to find out how this option can give you long term staffing options.
• ·Review what you are offering your employees and it doesn’t have to be more $ - other things are more important to some people

Generally we find that clients who haven’t developed job descriptions have really no idea what they are looking for, this is a first step to knowing what staff you need and what your staff are accountable for. People need to know what is expected of them and sometimes small business owners are so busy being hands on, they don’t communicate with staff and staff are left to struggle and cope not really knowing what the expectations are.

If you haven’t got job descriptions now is the time to develop them and All Aspects HR Services can help with this, we have assisted many companies to improve and create procedures and processes that made life easier for both employees and business owners.

All Aspects Recruitment & HR Services have partnerships in other states and can assist to find you the perfect employee. We are currently recruiting in Queensland for Darwin clients who are finding it impossible to source experienced staff in Darwin at the moment so if you need recruitment or interviews held let us know as we can assist and take the stress out of ‘finding the right person’

Also most of our candidates don’t want a job..... they want a career
