3 keys to delineating roles and preventing employee burnout At Forbes, the team structure helps define marketing roles — but it’s not enough on its own to protect employees from unrealistic workloads. Here are some other ways Ahmed and Schlesinger make Forbes’ marketing team a reliable results-driver, and a sustainable place to work. 1. Clear expectations. Everyone at Forbes is expected to have an entrepreneurial spirit. In fact, Schlesinger interviews for it when she’s hiring, saying she is always looking for “people who are happy to learn new skills and try new things.” But, an entrepreneurial spirit shouldn’t be code for doing three full-time jobs at once — and ultimately burning out.
Separating the marketing department from a larger business latestdatabase.com model testing group keeps Forbes’ marketing roles focused. Each team has their own marching orders. “Clear expectations about what the job is and what the business demands of the person are vital,” says Ahmed. “Clear expectations about what the job is and what the business demands of the person are vital.” 2. Well-planned onboarding. Setting those clear expectations, both Ahmed and Schlesinger agree, begins with effective onboarding. It sounds simple, but it’s not so common. In a MarketerHire survey of 130 marketing leaders in the U.S. across technology and retail, 23% said they didn’t feel confident in their onboarding processes for new full-time hires.
Meanwhile, 17% didn’t feel confident in their onboarding processes for freelance hires. The Forbes marketing team has a strong playbook for full-timers and freelancers alike. It involves three key steps: Creating a clear 30-60-90 day plan for each role Introducing new hires to important employees and business partners Assigning new hires a good amount of solo work, including reading brand guidelines, project/team background and history, to help them get up to speed. “It’s on the hiring manager and team to give everything they can to help this new hire be successful in their new role,” Schlesinger said. 3. Flexible hiring. is vital to Forbes’ marketing success — but managing and organizing people and teams isn’t a perfect science.
