We base a lot on benchmarks and budget. I never get to hear the side of how long a new employee takes to get productive.<BR/><BR/>Our IT department recently had a mass exodus of employees. With a staff of 25 or so, I think they lost 8-10 in a year period. I'm not judging, but it had a lot to do with leadership and a quagmire of personal issues between staff.<BR/><BR/>So we are currently building, adding 2 more floors, an extension to our 1st floor, extension to an outer building, add ons to our outpatient pavilion. Just bought a new building next door, (was a funeral home, I get a kick outta that).<BR/><BR/>Combine that with a new head of our IT / Telecomm services, we have an interesting situation. Luckily, of the staff lost from that department it was some project managers and software support people, the more infrastructure people like network techs and system analysts we have are really die hard good people that know their jobs.<BR/><BR/>I never really thought about it till I read your post about how you deal with your situation. I'll be interested to see how you handle it, and will now take new interest in what our IT department is doing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179628000946910261noreply@blogger.com
