When You Shouldn’t Hire (Even If You Really Want To)

In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, Todd Rhoades discusses when churches should avoid hiring new staff members. He emphasizes that more staff isn't always better and provides five critical questions to contemplate before deciding to hire. These include ensuring a clearly defined role, not using hiring to avoid difficult conversations or merely manage busyness, ensuring the culture supports the hire, and making sure the decision has been thoroughly prayed over.• Avoid hiring when roles aren't clearly defined.• Do not hire to avoid tough conversations or replace existing team dysfunctions.• Ensure hiring isn't just a response to busyness but part of a strategic plan.• Cultural readiness should be assessed before hiring.• Pray for clarity before making hiring decisions.Have questions or comments?  Send to [email protected] sure to subscribe to The Healthy Church Staff Podcast wherever you regularly listen to podcasts.- - - - - Is Your Church Hiring?If your church is searching for a new staff member, reach out to Todd for a conversation on how he might be able to help.Are You Looking for a New Ministry Role?If you are open to a new church role in the next few months, add your free resume and profile at ChemistryStaffing.com.
