How many staff members is too many?

How many staff members are too many for a small forum in your opinion? What are the factors that webmasters need to consider? Activity? Forum Statistics? Or,"x" amount of messages or members?

I don't think the problem should be focus on how many stuff, because it depends on the work load and well you want to expand the forum

I think 3 staff members are just okay for a small forum. I think of the three of them are consistent and comes online regularly then there won't be any problem from any angle.

There is nothing like too many stuff. It all depend on the level of your business. Let's say in the initial stages of your business you had 10 steps only but as a business progress is there are areas that need taken care of and that may prompt the need to employ more staff. Another factor what considering is the productivity of the Staffs. They are staff position that are irrelevant and can be taken up by others and it's our job to recognise them to avoid paying or necessary salaries and cluttering the workplace.

Its really depend on your forum will actually determined how many staff you have to order to work in the website, if actually there is much work in the website then you can order more staff.

Number is not the issue here, you should focus on building a team. Yes, when you have a formidable team as workforce, it doesn't matter the number of workers in your team but what matter is how your team is able to carry out a task successfully.

In economics as you add more and more units of something, output grows at a decreasing rate, generally more is preferred to less but there are consequences

How many staff depends on the traffic you are getting. If you have more subscribers theres no problem to hire more. Less subscribers, cut down ur staff

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.

I think that is just the simple way of addressing this issue of staff.you don't just employ a staff just to fill a vacant space,there must be a need and when that need is not there then the staff strenght is noot needed.

It depends on the work they do on the forum. Sometimes the forum might be small,but there is a lot of things to be done. all I know is not wise to employ many staffs on a forum.

No specific number of staffs is too much based on a kind of job that needs more hands on deck.

You can hire more members if you feel it is right for your business or organisation. Ensure you have the proper team management and control over them .

 

[greenie]

Absolutely no staff member is too many and none is too small, it all depends on the size of your business. Every organization has the required workmanship needed to drive their operations to success.

 

[Trexxxy]

I think it depends on how big the forum is. If there more responsibilities for the webmaster to handle, then I think hiring 2 or 3 people will certainly help shed some weight.

 

[Abasiama40]

For a small forum, anything above 20 staffs will be too much but as the forum grows, you may need to hire more staffs. This also will depend on your financial status.

 

[Smiles20]

If you are looking at it from the public point of you then there is no amount of stuff that you can consider to be too much. The most important thing is that you should employ as many as you think would have work to do.

 

[Good-Person]

The number of staff members should be equal to the ratio of members you have on your website. It would be difficult to manage a website or a forum if you have many members and only a handful of staff members who would manage the forum.

 

[Dagm1]

It will be determined by the amount of revenue and the specific tasks to be completed. As many staff as are relevant and required for the site's efficient operation.

 

[Blessedsam60]

To know if staff are many or not, you should be considering the website and what they do. This will determine the number of Graduate that best fit or match the company size.

 

[Shoaib5600]

I have not to experience with staff members. But I wish to give you some advice. The number of staff members depends on that which type of business. One main factor is also a budget if your budget does not allow you to pay more the twenty staff then don't go for twenty-five.

I am going to see the number of staff needed by the forums depend how big it is. There are some forums which need more than 20 moderators because they have a lot of sub forums. I think it is too much for such forum to have 30 moderators. Everything boils down to the size of the forum.
