Reducing turnover of contract or freelance workers

Medium effort

Medium impact

It takes time to onboard freelance and contract workers. As they learn more about your business they become more valuable and it can be difficult to deal with interruptions to staffing. If you rely on contractors or freelancers, it’s worth investing time in retention – there are big productivity gains to be had.
