Hiring: Full Time Vs. Contractual

Guests: Orlando Dawkins: Marketing Director, Blue Mountain Bicycle Tours Carlene Chin, Senior Manager - BDO Accounting Firm Welcome to Your Business Matters, a podcast of EXIM Bank Jamaica where we bring thought leaders together on thought-provoking ideas and methods to help grow your business Choosing between full-time vs contractual employment can be a very tricky process especially for small to medium-sized businesses. A great team is the strongest foundation on which successful businesses are built. For this reason,  choosing the right workers to be a part of a said team can be twice as stressful and small businesses have the hardest time staffing their establishment with meager budgets. We know quality human resources don't come cheap;  oftentimes business owners are left in a frenzy when it comes to this decision. Hiring temporary employees that add great value to your company is one option but this will also yield a high employee turnover. Conversely hiring full-time employees with little funds is next to impossible. So what does it ultimately come down to? Find out this evening on Your Business Matters. Some of what we discussed include: Challenges with contractual and full-time employment. Benefits associated with contractual and full-time employment. Do employers pay attention to job satisfaction and fulfillment with contract employees? We also touched base with a member of our audience Jermaine McDonald  who posed this question to our guests “In a setting with both types of employees, how do you manage that culture?” Connect with our guests: Connect with BDO Accounting Firm at 876-926-166-7 LinkedIn at our visit the website at JAMPRO.com.
