On Contract Only

“expert help when you need it”

Why Hire on Contract?

• access to expertise when you need it – adding the right kind of resource at the right time!

• flexibility- in good times, adding more employee is possible but what happens in down turns?  Contractors fill the voids while reducing overall costs and increasing efficiency in both good times and when revenue wanes

• fill a temporary management vacancy due to illness, leave, unexpected family emergencies, bereavement or accidents – you want to keep the position open but the work needs to get done too – someone on contract can do that for you!

• keep a project rolling – projects can get stalled because the person in charge hasn’t the time to fully engage.  A contractor keeps the project on target and reduces everyone’s stress levels!

• train- new software, new structure, new systems, new processes, new procedures, new policies – train the contractor and the contractor trains everyone else – what a time saver!

• conduct workshops on  team building, dealing with stress, time management, etc. – a contractor can design workshops specifically for your group and deliver them expertly – one person delivering the same message – no communication breakdowns!

• facilitate meetings, retreats or brainstorming sessions in order to have everyone fully engaged in the process and stay the course

• lead change management.  Change takes a great deal of time, energy and follow through as well as adjustments to the plan as the change evolves.  Most people on the job don’t have that kind of time.
  

Once the contract is over and objectives have been met, you can resume normal activity. 

What a stroke of luck!  Using contractors is a lifeline for all types of enterprises!

Count the Benefits!

•  It’s short term, the desired results are produced and everyone on staff has been able to complete their work too without additional stress caused by extra workload.  It’s a winning formula for everyone concerned!

• Contractors are busy people.  Their interest lies in getting the job done as effectively and quickly as possible.  Results are the focus.

• Contractors are not caught up with the culture and politics of the working environment and therefore are able to concentrate solely on results and getting people on board. There are no residual effects on anyone within the enterprise allowing for full engagement by all concerned.

• Additional help relieves workloads for permanent employees.

• And, sometimes, having someone new, impartial and unhindered by the culture of the organization can help insiders break through impasses.
