Holiday hiring tips

Temporary holiday help is critical in small business. You cannot afford a bad hire, even in the short term!

Kay Bell asked my opinion on a holiday hiring for an article for NFIB. She also collected some great tips from workforce development specialist Jacquelyn P. Robinson.

The tips break down into six areas:

• Start looking now
• Hire as if it were permanent
• Look for jolly workers
• Train, and do so creatively
• Keep everyone happy
  
• Go beyond the holidays

You can read all the tips in Six Holiday Hiring Tips.
