Are You Ready for the Economic Recovery?

I recently put together this information for a marketing project, and thought I'd share it here. I welcome any inputs from my readers

Are you ready for the economic recovery? The last two years have been tough for the wine business. Many companies have scaled back personnel and streamlined operations to reduce cost and increase revenues. Signs are indicating that the economy is starting to recover, and there is promising news in the retail and restaurant sector, which is a harbinger of better times ahead for wineries.

Is your staff already doing more with fewer people? With your lean staff, who has time to hire new employees when the time comes? Recently wineries have been getting deluged with resumés. It is common for 100 or more resumés to be submitted for one position. Does your staff have time to screen all those resumés, let alone take the time to interview, reference check and handle offer negotiations? While they are trying to hire someone, are their core responsibilities such as sales, marketing or hospitality, going to suffer? If you are hoping to stay on top of this economic recovery, you need your staff to focus on their key strengths and not on recruiting.
