STAFFING STRATEGIES

Projects are, by their nature, of limited duration.

How can the owner balance the needs of a project with staff preference for long-term positions with security and benefits?

maintain an internal “home group” (specialists with similar career interests who are managed centrally)

retain only a recruiting group to hire new staff for each project
