How many staff members is too many?

[Kane]

I have never hired too many websites. For me too many staff members means when staff members are lying ideal with no assignments on their desk.

If it is a site that has millions of active members, you would need up to 100 staff members to be able to control and moderate what happens .

The business income will be the determinant of the numbers of staff a company will employ. When the staff are more than what the income generated by the company can afford, then the staff are too much.

In this case some site owners dismiss some staff members in order to cut costs and I believe there is actually nothing wrong in doing that.

There is no limitations as regards to the number of star a company should have but it depends on the kind of work those stuff could really carry out

Well it's all depends on your type and nature of business and your estimated number of workers and employees too,well it's not too advisable to get your business congested by workers and also make sure you can pay them all

 

[Fizzy_boi]

Actually it determines on the type of business you do and also it can also be determined by the power, capacity ,field and job opportunity available at the company they are what we determine the number of employees.

I observe that in banks for instance, they tend to have more staff members in the customer support section as this is where so many people visit often.

When there are less job openings available for the organization it simply means you'll only be needing a couple of workers only and not a platoon of them. You'd be paying unnecessary cost for staffs you don't need

It is understandable for a business to dismiss her staff, when a business no longer makes profits that is enough to takes care of all the staff on her payroll.

I'm not really knowledgeable in this sort of thing but I think it depends on how much work there is to be done and how big the website is. If there's a lot to check and monitor.

This is why some companies do not bother to announce job openings, but only try to employ few people based on recommendations.

I'll say the number one factor is the structure of the site - what activities are being carried out on the site. That'll be the first determinant to see if more hands are needed.
Next is more members and number of sections that you'll have. The more sections, the more moderators are needed

Some websites and forums actually have very much number of sections and they still maintain a small number of staff members which makes the workload too much for them.

Forums needs staffs to operate tremendously especially when it is developing into large community. Its not only work of Admin to manage it alone but through the help of his team as well.

 

[gammarays]

In every organisation, the scope and number of positions available will influence the number of employees needed. The number of staff in a firm will be considered too much if the ratio of workers to job is too much.

 

[Bousine123]

It would depend on the scale of that business and how well you are able to operate with the number of staffs you employ. Am currently working for an international blog and we are just 6 in the company.

Focusing on the member is not the first thing to do, the thing you need tomdomis first check the work done by the staff to know the capacity of the staff over the work , and thats when you will know if youbare overstaff or short of staff.

Instead of focusing on the number, I think you should check the jobs done. If there is a lot of work to be done, you are under staffed, if there are no assignments, you are over staffed. Staffing should depend on your resources.

 

[Senator]

The number of staff members one may need to get for his forum depends on the number of participants one has got in that forum. It the participants are actually in very large numbers, then you'll need more staff

I think 20 above the required staff is too much for your company because it is going to tell on the cash flow of your company.
