Realizing you need help, especially from people outside your business, can be hard. Even harder? Actually asking someone for help. But in today’s business world, there are some things that don’t make sense for you to try to do alone. If you do, you’re more likely to see revenue loss, employee frustration, change fatigue, and many more negative impacts to your business. So, how do you know when to ask for help vs. when you should do something on your own? To help answer this, we’ve provided 3 key areas where hiring outside help is the best solution:

Project Management

We’ve discussed the importance of hiring an outside project manager (PM) in many blogs, because it is truly key to business success! Even if you have dedicated project managers internally, you need the neutral, 3rd party view an outside PM brings. This will help your own employees collaborate and be more invested. It will help you ensure you’re creating a solution for your actual business problem. And, it will allow you and your team to still get your other, daily tasks done, so you don’t experience burnout and poor retention.

Talent Acquisition

Michael Downing, Managing Partner at Elevate Talent, wrote a recent blog outlining “Why smart companies outsource talent acquisition.” Some of the key factors outlined are not only an improved quality in the employees you hire, but that it actually saves the company money in recruiting costs and leads to lower employee turnover. How? Because you get a neutral, 3rd party to come in, and truly see what skills, positions, and employee roles you’re missing, not what you might think you’re missing. Similar to hiring an outside PM, this also allows you and your team to continue to complete your core daily functions, rather than spending money, time and energy trying to find the next best employee.

Change Management

Last week, we provided compelling ways you can work on fighting change fatigue because every business is suffering from it in some degree. Change fatigue is one of the top reasons hiring outside help before starting a large-scale change is imperative. It will also aid in a lower turnover rate, and more contentment both culturally and activity wise. It will additionally help ensure that whatever change you are trying to make is successful. This in turn helps save wasted time and resources.

The three examples above are important, but they are not the only ones. There are hundred of places your company will benefit from hiring outside help. Our advice, especially in a world of low unemployment and poor employee retention, is this: take the time, be humble, and hire outside help more than you might think you need it. The benefits you will see will save time, money, and your employee happiness.
