People & staffing levels

Are you short on people? Or is the work in the wrong places?

Before you hire, find out if the number of people is really the problem.

Understaffed, or just disorganized? Hiring is the most expensive way to fix a setup problem. Sometimes the team really is short on people. Just as often, the work piles up in the wrong jobs. Or nobody owns it. Or it's stuck waiting on one person. A Staff Analysis tells you which.

The two problems look the same from the inside

An overloaded team feels the same whether you're two people short or the setup has a gap. Both show up as missed deadlines, heroics, and burnout. But the fixes are opposites. One costs a salary. The other costs a conversation.

What it looks at

How many people you have against the real workload. Where work piles up with no owner. What breaks if one key person leaves. And whether the next hire would fix the bottleneck or just feed it. You'll know whether to hire, move work around, or change the setup before you spend.

Three minutes from now, you'll know what to fix first.
