Talent

With apologies to my human resources friends, I don’t like Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs).

It seems to be common for agency employees to ask for raises and promotions much more frequently these days. 

In a small agency, you have more opportunities, but also more responsibility than your counterparts in the larger shops.

Those agencies who have built a bench of talent over the years – largely in the form of independent contractors – have a bit of an advantage because they have existing relationships that they can tap into to get jobs done.

Good collaboration — at the right time — with an expert in employment law can help you create a better employee handbook that will help simplify management, assist recruitment, and boost retention by creating an agency culture that matches your leadership vision.
