Staff Augmentation to Accommodate Tech Integrated Staffing client demand
An effective people strategy will include a significant proportion of “core staff” or permanent, long-term employees. But managers should not overlook the benefit of optimizing the balance between core and augmented staff, sometimes called “contract staff” or “contractors.”
So, what is the ideal balance between core and project-based engineers? While there are no one-size-fits-all answers, several questions help focus this analysis, including:
- Which are the staff you know you’ll need virtually all of the time?
- How volatile is your market?
- How costly are your salaries and benefits in comparison to the value the work provides?
- Are there certain types of specialists you know you need to always have on hand?
- Are there specialists you know you’ll need for months at a time, but only on a project-by-project basis?
- How hard to find are these specialists, and other talent, when you need them?
- What are your customers’ expectations for turnaround?
Too many core staff and you wind up with salaries and benefits that you don’t need during slow periods. You sacrifice profit or deal with the demoralizing task of laying off excess staff.
Too much reliance on IT staff augmentation, and people who are central to your core competency may leave during slow periods.
We’ll help find the balance.
Staff Augmentation to Enhance Your Capabilities
