LSI Staffing - Durant OK

With International Women's Day this week, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate our rockstar Business Development Manager - Kansas City Metro/President Club Member Megan Neer. We are grateful for her leadership within LSI, especially as she keeps extremely busy helping companies find staffing solutions. Here, she shares her insight on how you can improve your time management skills.

"I have been with LSI for almost four years, started as a recruiter, and transitioned into sales shortly after. I am honored to have made and grown professional relationships throughout this career thus far.

"I am excited to work for a company that allows me to change many lives of business owners and employees with our service and impact on staff. I am thrilled to get to contribute to a forward-thinking and fast-moving company.

"My territory at LSI has grown rapidly, and that has made time management an essential function in my everyday routine. Time management is something I've had to make a priority to be successful, especially in sales. By doing this, I've set aside designated times to focus on the big picture and put my efforts into my work.

"Prioritizing my tasks, it's allowed me to achieve my goals faster. Of course, teamwork makes the dream work, and none of it would be achievable without my great coworkers helping me to make those time blocks possible."

Do you have a plan if a natural disaster hits your business? We never think it will happen to us. But what if it does?

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), up to 40% of businesses never reopen after a disaster strikes.

With the volatile spring upon us, prepare now for any possible natural disasters. Here are our tips to make sure your company operations encounter minimal disruption.

1. Ensure your employees receive the appropriate training, including first aid, how to operate fire extinguishers, and how to deal with dangerous spills or leaks. Offer annual training so they know the latest procedures and compliance.

2. Create a business continuity plan. What are the steps you can take to maintain the critical functions of your business? Do you have a backup facility where some level of operations can take place? Do you have vital data and records protected, either on remote servers or in physical form, at a secured facility?

3. Make sure you have developed a communications plan to update your stakeholders, including the media.

4. Maintain the appropriate insurance for your business and review it every year - especially if your business is growing.

5. Keep an updated list of resources you can contact if disaster strikes. This would include FEMA, local emergency management services, your insurance company representative, the American Red Cross, etc.

Do you know the difference between maximum effort and optimal effort -- and which one will help keep you from burning out?

We are still early into 2023, and you may have many goals you want to reach this year. But we know that optimal effort will serve you best every time to reach your goals instead of maximum effort. Why? It's been proven that choosing the most important goals -- maybe it's just 1 or 2 -- and putting your best effort toward those will bring success. It will also keep you from trying to take on too much and becoming discouraged or even quitting before any goal is met.

And while optimal effort means your overall progress will be slower, it also means that you will feel less stress, think more clearly, and have more energy to stick with your efforts and achieve success.

With a possible recession coming, many people need a bit of extra money in case they are laid off or want more financial security. So they are turning to side hustles in addition to their day jobs.

What does this mean for you as an employer? Consider how temp workers can be valuable to your company. With the unpredictable economy, you may need to change your staffing needs quickly. Hiring temp or seasonal employees provides you with flexibility and can shore up your company's productivity if you find yourself scrambling for qualified workers.

And once you've hired additional staff, be sure to build rapport with your short-term employees. You never know when you may need them for long-term or permanent work.
