Find capacity before you add headcount.
If the team is busy but work still piles up, another hire may not be the first answer. We look at where effort is going and what would genuinely free up time.
Find out what's stretching the team.
Repeated effort
Measure how often work occurs and how much active time it requires.
Waiting and bottlenecks
Separate the time spent doing a task from time lost waiting for the next person or system.
Dependence on key people
Identify work that stalls unless the owner, manager or specialist steps in.
Compare hiring with changing the work.
Use WorkflowMind to investigate workload and model possible process changes. If another hire is still needed, understand what the role will actually take on.
Know the full cost of the role you're considering.
Estimate salary, employer contributions and overheads, then examine whether the work itself needs to change.
Grow on a stronger operating foundation.
Investigate capacity before making a permanent commitment to headcount.
