In any organization… People make the difference. Being properly staffed means having the right amount of people for the amount of work. Being overstaffed, or understaffed, negatively impacts the bottom line. Being overstaffed is an unnecessary burden on overhead and tends to breed mediocrity. Being understaffed can place an unreasonable burden on key personnel, causing them to make unnecessary mistakes and become burned out. Understanding your staffing needs is part of proper planning. Always be recruiting. Good people have always been, and will continue to be, hard to find. It’s too late to start looking for people when you need them. You must think ahead and plan your staffing requirements. This is especially important in the start up and wind down phases of a projects life cycle.
