Active Cultures
Employees at many successful companies start the day by checking the economic forecast. Patagonia’s Ventura, California, employees start the day by checking the surf forecast.

Payroll expenses typically account for 30 to 50 percent of company expenses with some companies spending much more. Human resources managers are challenged to find ways to hire qualified, productive personnel while keeping costs down. In difficult economic times, the challenge is even greater. Companies must be cautious about hiring new employees when sales and profits are declining. On the other hand, the company must function in the present and be prepared when the economy improves. Today, human resources managers often use hiring practices to help create a flexible work force. Hiring temporary employees is a way to meet urgent, short-term needs. Temps are hired for a limited time, a specific project, or when a company does not want to risk committing to a new permanent employee.
