Top Strategies for Successful Staff Augmentation Implementation

Staff augmentation is one of business organizations’ most widely used models worldwide. It involves focusing on in-house team expansion by outsourcing talented individuals. This strategy can be highly beneficial in effectively addressing skills or workload gaps, leading to successful project completion.  However, we have seen many HR managers or companies hire augmented staff and then, after some time, fire them because they do not fit into the workflow. You must follow the right strategies for successful staff augmentation implementation to avoid this.  Effective Strategies for Successful Implementing Staff Augmentation Below are some of the useful strategies that organizations or human resource managers can consider following for successful staff augmentation.  Before implementation, everything must be planned. This will involve paying attention to several things. For instance, HR managers need to outline the required goals clearly. Some of the most common ones are listed below.   A strong understanding of both these things will make the selection process much easier for HR managers and increase the chances of hiring the most suitable talent.  When the right talent is hired, it will contribute to the workflow properly, ensuring the maximum success of ongoing projects.  Companies should avoid directly involving the augmented staff in the workflow immediately after hiring. This can cause issues and disturb the overall work because new employees will not be aware of the organization’s specific requirements. So, for the successful implementation of augmented staff, it is considered an excellent strategy to conduct thorough on-board and training sessions.  Tell the outsourced team members about the company’s specific processes, software tools, procedures, etc. Moreover, HR managers should also educate them about the company’s culture, rules, regulations, benefits, etc.      When the proper guidance is delivered, the new hire can easily fit into the ongoing working process and make a handy contribution. Effective communication is the most important thing in every aspect of life, and in the professional field, it becomes even more crucial.  And we all know that in a professional environment, communication is done through written messages. Managers must ensure clear communication while sending emails or text messages to new staff about project descriptions, guidelines, new marketing strategies, etc..  For this, they need to avoid using technical or complex jargon or difficult sentence structuring in messages or emails, as this can cause ambiguity or confusion for the augmented staff.  However, if they still have doubts about your message’s clarity, then don’t hesitate to rephrase it manually or through an online tool. Tools like Editpad are AI-trained to convert any complex text into clear, concise, and easy to read. The heading already says everything. Managers and company owners should tell both the old and new team members to work as a team and ask them to collaborate and share knowledge on every aspect whenever needed. Doing so will foster a positive work environment, make the augmented staff feel valued and motivated, and result in a successful project. Moreover, companies should take the necessary steps to ensure the management of current projects. For example, you should provide the augmented staff with access to all the required resources or tools. Effective management will save valuable time and effort, boosting the team’s overall productivity and efficiency. Most of you will already be aware of the importance of feedback. It can greatly help a person determine where they are doing well and where improvement is required.  So, as an HR manager or organization owner, it is considered an effective strategy to continuously monitor newly hired employee’s performance and provide them constructive feedback. This will greatly help in reinforcing the expectations.  Furthermore, while providing feedback, your focus should not be only on highlighting mistakes. Instead, if an augmented employee is doing well, it is necessary to mention his/her worthy contribution. Doing so will encourage them to work more dedicatedly. This is the final staff augmentation implementation strategy we will discuss today. If your organization does not have the capability or enough time to outsource and implement augmented staff, opt for an external service provider. Numerous reputable companies offer staff augmentation services on the Internet. You can choose the one that is trusted and specialized in your targeted niche or market. However, following this strategy will increase the overall cost, so we personally recommend going with it only when the budget is not your concern.  Final Thoughts Outsourcing the best talent for your organization and then involving them in the routine workflow is definitely challenging. However, if a manager or company follows the right strategies to prevent any issues, it can be done. In this blog post, we covered most of the ones that can be considered. We are hopeful that you will find this valuable.  Schedule A Call With Us Request a Free Consultation YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE

Salesforce Latest Features – Highlights

Track Accounts as Campaign Members Previously you could only add Lead/Contact or Person accounts as campaign members in Salesforce, but Now you can focus on the Accounts by tracking them as Campaign Members. Add accounts as campaign members from related lists and create standard and custom reports to track their engagement. In order to add accounts as campaign members, the Salesforce admin needs to turn on the feature in Salesforce Setup. Then update the accounts page layouts to include the Campaign History-related list on account records. Note: Accounts, including person accounts, that are added as campaign members also appear in Campaigns and Campaign Member related lists and standard reports. Share Records with Manual Sharing in Lightning Experience With the latest release of Salesforce Manual sharing is available in the lighting experience. Previously, you had to switch to the classic interface to share the record manually with specific users or groups. But, with manual sharing in Lightning Experience, you can now share records and manage record shares in a new streamlined interface. Steps: Note: Manual shares are available only for accounts, opportunities, cases, contacts, leads, and custom objects. Refer to the Prior Values of the Record in Salesforce Flows Previously, there was no way to check the prior values of the record that triggered your flow. But, now when a record is updated, you can access that record’s prior values in Salesforce Flow. The $Record__Prior global variable contains the record’s values immediately before the flow was run. Use these prior values to check for changes and calculate differences in your flow. For example, notify your deal team when the deal’s amount changes by 50% or more. Here, you need to compare the current value of the amount to the prior value of the amount in order to calculate the percentage change. So you can create a formula such as ({$!Record.Amount} – {!$Record__Prior.Amount}) / {!Record__Prior.Amount}. By using a Decision element to check the formula’s result and a Send Email action to perform the notification. $Record__Prior global variable can be used in record-triggered flows that are set to trigger either when the record is updated or when the record is created or updated. $Record__Prior is available in specific Flow Builder locations that read from global variables, including: Are you looking for a reputed Salesforce partner for successful Salesforce Implementation and maintenance?

5-Step Guide to Install Email Signing Certificate in Your Outlook

Are you looking to secure Outlook emails? Here is an ultimate guide on downloading, installing, and using your email signing certificates in the Outlook account. Cyberattacks are increasing, and attackers try to fetch sensitive information using different means. For example, email is one of the primary mediums for hackers to attack organizations. According to a report, high-risk email threats increased to 101% in 2021. Therefore, you should secure your email communications to avoid cyber threats.  Email signing certificates can help secure communication between the organization and external parties. It allows businesses to sign emails and verify the sender’s identity through a certificate authority (CA) vetting.  Businesses can encrypt all the contents of emails with such SMIME Certificates as attachments, messages, and more. Therefore, the security of your communication must install an email singing certificate to your accounts like Microsoft outlook. We will discuss installing such certificates on your outlook account and the significance of email signing. Let us start by understanding the email signing certificate. What is an email signing certificate? An email signing certificate is a critical public infrastructure (PKI)-based digital signature that enables organizations to sign and encrypt emails. It uses asymmetric encryptions where security keys for encryptions and decryption processes are different.  An email signing process ensures that the contents of your message are secure both at the receiver endpoint and during transit. In addition, it offers security against man-in-middle (MITM) attacks. So, how does an email signing certificate work? Email signing certificate uses two types of security keys public and private. While the public key encrypts an email, the private key allows the recipient to decrypt it. The public key is available publicly, but the private key is assigned to the desired recipient only.  Let’s first understand the email signing process and installation on the Outlook account. Installation of emails signing certificate on Outlook The email signing process begins with generating a certificate signing request (CSR). You can generate CSR through a utility tool like OpenSSL. However, the best way to generate CSR is to use order detail, but you need to be accurate with data, or else it can be rejected. So, let us comprehend the entire process gradually. Step 1- Generating the email signing request. OpenSSL is an open-source utility tool that you can use to generate CSRs and private keys for X.509 certificates. Especially if you are using operating systems like Linux or macOS, OpenSSL comes preinstalled. In Windows, you may need a Linux subsystem for OpenSSL. You can use a command to generate CSR with the OpenSSL, openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout PRIVATEKEY.key -out YourCSR.csr Every element in the command has its significance, openssl is the main command req is an OpenSSL utility you need to generate CSR -newkey rsa:2048 is essential for the generation of 2048-bit-based private keys -keyout PRIVATEKEY.key helps in specifying where you will save the private key file Similarly -out YourCSR.csr helps in knowing where to save the CSR file. The vetting process begins after your CSR and the private key is generated. Step-2 CA verification stage A CA will verify your details mentioned in the CSR to issue the email signing certificate. However, it becomes crucial to find a trustworthy CA. For example, Sectigo is a leading certificate authority that provides different certificates. It offers various options for email security for enterprises, startups, and small businesses.  Once CA verifies your credentials and issues a certificate, you will receive an email with the bundle containing all the files required for the installation process. Step-3 Download and install the email signing certificate in the Outlook account The first part of the installation process involves downloading the certificate file in a PKCS#12 format. CAS like Sectigo will provide a link for downloading the file in your email. Next, you will be asked to create a password for the file and save it.  For example, the process is straightforward if you want to install the Sectigo PAC Enterprise certificate on your Outlook account. The reason to choose Sectigo is faster issuance, ease of download, and installation. However, some CAs may not provide the certificate file in a PKCS#12 format.  Here is how you can use OpenSSL to convert the certificate file to PKCS#12 format, Open the command line and execute the following code. One key to successful conversion to PKCS#12 format is matching the file name. So, your certificate file name and the one you use in a command need to match. openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in mycertificate.p7b -out mycertificate.cer openssl pkcs12 -export -in mycertificate.cer -inkey privateKey.key -out mycertificate.pfx -mycertfile CACert.cer Now that you have PKCS#12-format file ready, it is time to install it. Step-4 Installing the email signing certificate file in Outlook The process of installing your Sectigo PAC Enterprise (SMIME) begins by login into your Outlook account. Now search for the options menu by clicking on the sidebar. Click on the “Trust Center” option in the settings menu. Now click on the trust center settings options, and a new window will open. Select the default settings option and provide details in the new wizard Here, set the default setting for your email signing certificate to S/MIME. Now it is time to select the Sectigo PAC Enterprise (SMIME) certificate in the “signing certificate” option. Once you click on the browse option to choose the signing certificate following pop-up window will appear on the screen. Once you click on “OK,” your email signing certificate will be installed in the Outlook account. Next, you can start signing your emails for higher security. Step-5 Signing your emails When composing your emails, go to the “options” menu and choose “more options.” A new window will pop up with different fields. Now check for “change security settings for this message” and choose the button below with the text, “Security Settings.” A new wizard will open where you need to tick the box specifying whether you want to encrypt the message and its attachments or not. Next, tick on the option of adding a digital signature to your email. Now add the installed certificate by clicking on the option “change setting.” Click on
