Planning for the Future | Start Prepping Your Workforce for 2016

2016 is nearly here.

Is your office ready? Before you start the holiday celebrations it is a good idea to plan for the future and start preparing your workforce for the coming year. So what are the best ways to start preparing now? Here are 5 things you can start doing today to ensure that your transition to the year 2016 goes smoothly and is successful.

Review Your Budget

What did your budget look like for 2015? Did you meet it or exceed it? What was your spending versus profits? This will help you make an informed decision about your budget for next year. What can you improve? What changes are essential? What is your goal for the following year?

Look at Hiring Opportunities

Who did you hire in 2015? How did this affect your organization both positively and negatively? What changes can you make for the following year? Maybe there is a superstar who should be promoted before they look for work elsewhere. Or maybe there is someone who isn’t performing at the level you expected. Now is the time to make changes.

Review the Employee Handbook

Most companies create an employee handbook and then never look at it again. However, employment law and other factor change over time so it may be critical that you review and edit as necessary. For instance, do you have information regarding the Affordable Care Act and your insurance policy?

Determine the Strategic Players

What about your current team? Who is in the best position to help your organization develop in the direction you choose this year? You need to make sure you are positioning the best employees in the right places within your company to achieve your goals.

Develop the Plan

Finally, when you have all of these answers in place you can start creating a plan that will help you maneuver all of the pieces in the right place to make 2016 the best year ever for your business. What can you do starting today?
