Use temps to cut workloads and retain staff when budgets are tight

 

I run a small office in a medium-sized advertising company with a presence across Asia. We’re short staffed and constantly busy, but keep turning out quality work. Recently, our head office tightened their budget and froze hiring, despite an increasing workload. Employees are starting to reach breaking point and I’m struggling to work out how I can hold the team together. One person has already resigned and others are talking about it. Any ideas?
