Recent job statistics indicate employers are using part-time workers to handle all variations in workload and for short-term projects. These tips below will be useful for you when hiring part-time workers.
* Communicate with the Employee. Explain in detail the person’s duties, the hours and benefits. Make sure this person’s supervisor is also very clearly informed of the expectations that are set for this new part-time employee.
* Communicate with your full-time Staff. Inform full-time Staff why you plan to hire this new part time person. Communicate what that person will and won’t be expected to do.
* Communicate by Providing Introductory Training. This is very important. Proper training can help that person succeed. Poor training can cause the new person to fail.
* Provide a Communication channel. Provide a mentor for that new person so he/she has someone to answer questions and fill in the blanks after the initial training is complete.
* Provide on-going Communication. Give them feedback on performance and recognition for a job well done.
These steps will assure a great start for the company and any new part-time employee.
