When a small business experiences success and growth, there will sometimes be growing pains. These things are normal, but it's all about how the leaders in charge handle these growing pains that will determine the ultimate success. In order to keep things moving forward, avoid (or manage) these growing pains.
People Are Unaware of Other Workers
- If one employee is working in one area or on a project and is unaware of others’ responsibilities, another person could be doing the same exact thing. Too much overlap can become inefficient and wasteful.
- Employee theft is something that happens and it's important to put practices in place that can avoid this issue altogether. Implement a reward system for employees to bring forward evidence of theft while also installing CCTV security cameras inside and outside of the business’s location.
Communication is Lacking
As companies grow, there will be more employees, more responsibilities, and more things to communicate. This can become even trickier when multiple locations or offices are thrown into the mix. Every growing business should be equipped with a VoIP phone system to help foster reliable communication.
- New phones can be added to the system on an as need basis due to the constant growth of your small business.
- Features such as video conferencing, call forwarding, call waiting, and mobile phone compatibility can make receiving those calls that's much easier.
- VoIP phone systems are at least half the price of traditional phone systems, which can help you allocate your savings to other areas of the business.
Successful small businesses can experience rapid growth in a short time — but with success comes some hardships.
