Teamwork is essential to any business. Whether you have a small or large team, how your team works together as well as how you lead your team has a lot to do with the success of your business.
As a coach, consultant, or small service-based business owner, when it’s time to scale your business, it can be a daunting thought to hire full-time employees. Big questions pop in your mind like:
Can I afford to hire anyone?
Can I fill their workday?
Many of us who choose to work from anywhere and want to scale our businesses will choose to get started with our team-building with a part-time employment relationship, a freelancer, or an independent contractor (or a combination).
When it comes to resources available to help make the part-time employment relationship better and stronger... they are few and far between.
In this week’s podcast, I have a conversation with Linda Guild from Talented Alliance of Part-time Professionals.
Linda is an association executive with over 20 years of experience. She believes in the power of connections. Working with different associations has enabled her to learn about many industries. She is bringing the knowledge of associations to the Talented Alliance of Part-time Professionals, aka TAPP. She believes that those who work part-time, and their companies deserve to have resources which fit their situation so that the individual feels valued.
The Scrivener Solutions team is comprised of primarily part-time employees. There’s a lot of advantages for both the employee and the company to have the flexibility that part-time employment offers. But for as many advantages, there are just as many challenges to overcome.
Linda and I had a lovely conversation about the empty space that TAPP is filling. It’s not just a matter of companies knowing how to best utilize the skills of their part-time employees, but also a fantastic resource for individuals who are or want to be part-time employees.
Enjoy!
