 Impact On Key Staff

Bringing in new staff to an established organisation needs preparation if it is to go well. Just springing a new appointment on the staff can create anxiety and uncertainty and can unsettle key staff who feel that they are not valued. Understanding these risks allows for better groundwork so that the new recruit is well accepted.

In the end, if you need a new person and the staff don’t like it then you will probably still go ahead, but at least you will do so in the knowledge of the risks. If you think back you can probably remember someone who found it difficult to adapt to a company culture, maybe it was the culture that needed changing.

 Retaining Key People When Recruiting
If the recruitment of new people worries or annoys your key people so much that you lose them, clearly the downside risk of recruitment needs to be managed otherwise you will damage your company’s performance. Key people often know how good they are and they need to be managed fairly and firmly or else they will dictate their terms to remain.

Anticipating the consequences of a new recruitment is important and being prepared so that you have options is too.
