Are you in need of some transitional staffing support? And remember, the transition is temporary-with the right plan, youвЂ™ll soon be up and running with a successful new staff. Weighing these pros and cons will help you make the right staffing decisions as you work to rebuild your team. Be sure to clearly articulate your needs upfront, and make sure that anyone you bring in can fulfill those needs. Interim staffers also tend to be part-time, making their availability limited. In todayвЂ™s world of remote work, the ideal interim staffer may not be in your immediate geographic area. YouвЂ™ll need to take extra care to find an interim staffer who will get to know the team quickly and who can support full-time leaders in their vision. (Luckily, interim staffers are used to stepping into organizations in a pinch and quickly getting to work.)

Bringing in a new team member from the outside can require extra onboarding to become familiar with the organization. Often, having a transition period between an old staff member and a new one allows time for the team to grow, and sets the new employee up for success. By bringing in an expert who can jump right in, youвЂ™ll be able to work more efficiently and effectively. Interim staff members may have skills and expertise that your current team is lacking.

Provides expertise your team may be missing.

Interim staff members can bring in a fresh perspective and ideas to help your team advance their work. Interim staffers are experts at keeping tasks moving toward your goals, allowing you additional time to recruit, hire, and onboard an excellent candidate with potential for organizational longevity.

Bringing on outside help allows current staff to focus on their core responsibilities and maintain their normal level of work. Having a current staff member step up to a position or take on additional responsibilities can add extra strain and negatively impact morale, risking further staff loss. So weвЂ™ve put together some pros and cons to consider as you weigh the best course forward for your team: As former marketing and ticketing leaders, at JCA Arts Marketing weвЂ™ve been on both sides of the situation. Managers and leaders usually have two options as they search for new permanent, full-time employees: utilize existing staff to absorb the responsibilities of vacant positions, or hire external interim staff members to help fill the gaps. As we move through this era of The Great Resignation, many arts and culture organizations find themselves short on staff-making it challenging to keep up with daily operations and progress towards long-term goals.
