Entrepreneurs today are faced with many challenges in a marketplace that has changed dramatically in recent years. They must deal with a number of new business tasks that can be important to the routine function of the business or can help to advance the interests of the business for the long-term. Here are three positions you should consider adding to your staff, to ensure your business functions well for the daily routine and is poised to grow in the future.

Marketing Generalist

Maintaining a prominent position in the marketplace has become essential to helping your business grow. Websites, print publications and social media presence keeps your name in the public eye, allows you to reach new customers and secures good relations with your current customer base. Marketing campaigns can take a significant amount of time and energy, and this effort is best left in the hands of a professional who understands the reach of different types of media, as well as how to track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. A marketing professional who is on your staff will understand your business in greater detail and will be better able to present your company in the public sphere.

Warehouse Personnel

Having a sufficient number of people in your warehouse can mean the difference between fulfilling your customer’s need on time and losing a contract to a competing company. Your efforts to find and keep good warehouse workers will ensure your ability to maintain timely logistics for your business. A warehouse staffing service can ensure that you have the experience workforce you need in your warehouse to compete successfully.

Human Resources Specialist

The days of managing human resources on the fly have passed. Business owners can use their time more productively on other types of tasks than managing personnel issues on their own. An experienced human resources worker can ensure that your company is in compliance with state and federal regulations regarding your workforce and can handle the day-to-day questions and concerns that normally arise. Good human resource management can also help you find and maintain a skilled staff. If an area requires your attention the HR specialist can keep you apprised of the progress of the matter, without your having to drop more important tasks.

A successful business is more than just one that makes a profit in the present. Smart entrepreneurs are always thinking one step ahead, hunting new opportunities and ensuring that they are functioning efficiently in the moment. These three positions will help your business achieve sustained growth and increasing profit margins.
