If you\u2019re like many business owners, you may have come to rely increasingly on freelancers to take up any slack in your organization. Often, it\u2019s more cost effective to bring a freelancer on to help you handle a temporary crunch than it is to go through the time and labor-intensive hiring process to bring on a new full time employee you may need to let go later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have one or more freelancers on your team this holiday season, make sure they\u2019re included in whatever virtual holiday festivities you may have planned. True, they might not be permanent employees, but their contributions matter too, and it\u2019s just good form to make sure they\u2019re included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s actually a lot easier than you might think. Over whatever span of time they\u2019ve been working for you, you\u2019ve almost certainly gotten to know a few things about them, so you probably already have at least some sense of their tastes and preferences, and even if you don\u2019t that\u2019s an easy thing to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freelancers often feel less a part of your organization than your other employees and if you\u2019re looking for a simple, surefire way to boost their morale and productivity, then including them in this year\u2019s holiday celebration is an excellent way to do just that. For a nominal investment in a little gift basket or other small token, you\u2019ll see an outsized boost in the work they deliver for you. That\u2019s win-win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
