Right-sizing your team – learn how to juggle the challenges of hiring, downsizing and everything in between with Therese Ravell Director at Impact HR

Hiring and downsizing are among the biggest challenges small businesses face in uncertain economies. Whether you’re expanding, streamlining or facing tough decisions, you'll gain the tools to adapt while keeping your business strong —without too many sleepless nights.

Key Topics:

  • Smarter staffing strategies: Identify key roles in your business and take advantage of different flexible working arrangements to balance costs and productivity

  • Growth vs streamlining: recognise the green flags for building your team vs red flags that signal it’s time to streamline

  • Handling hard conversations: set clear boundaries and manage tough discussions with employees, clients and suppliers, whether it’s chasing unpaid invoices or adjusting employee hours.

Takeaway tool: A difficult conversations template to guide clear, empathetic discussions during challenging times.
