when the minimum usage volume is larger than what you need.
Find a way to share with more than your organisation. Either in a lease form, outsource solution or a mutual share solution.
Example:
1) A receptionist. At the start of any business or even during operations of any business more so when you have few places for staff, an organisation would most likely prioritise the skill area of that business and sales. This however does not negate the need to greet or meet any potential clients or guest whom may visit you at your premise.
So solutions would be to have any staff available fulfill that role on an adhoc basis. This may be fine on a short term basis. But the use of these skilled staff especially when you have them working on more specialised task is costly. So what are your options.
- Get a temp staff for certain days or hours in a day.
- Reduce the number of hours you use the part timer for.
- Or move to an environment that can support multi organisations in one premise, yet share central skills such as receptionists, cleaning staff, in house IT services and more.
This is where Shared Serviced Offices could fulfill your needs.
In an organisation that provides these solutions the take on the risk of unutilised hours and capacity. They also take the calculated cost of depreciation, maintenance, down time and alternate solutions in maintaining uptime.
Such a service can take the risk to spread the usage of the staff timing or any resource that is under utilised to help bring the per use rate to a more reasonable level for you and your organisation.
There is nothing that cost cannot be reduced. It just takes imagination and flexibility.
Use these organisations to help you spread the cost and usage level to bring usage to a reasonable level.
