Firstly, new client work often comes with the commitment to hire a certain number of new team members to create a team. If that’s the case, then it will be discussed in the WIP team meetings and the hiring manager will start to check our network.
Secondly, we may notice that our current team is becoming overloaded, but that is not an automatic sign that we should hire more people. It may be that bad habits or certain inefficiencies have crept into our way of doing things, and we should look primarily at changing or removing these barriers to work, and only then looking to hire more people if there is still a shortage of hours in the week to get everything done.
