Business owners who experience rapid growth may be ecstatic that their company is seeing such high demand, but also nervous about their ability to keep up with it. Gilles Bertaux, CEO and co-founder of end-to-end video communication company Livestorm, recently shared tips for companies experiencing such exponential growth in a Forbes Technology Council post.
- Bertaux says onboarding new hires quickly and efficiently is crucial. He recommends a standardized, automated system to assist the process, while also providing some customization through strategies such as pairing new hires with existing employees
