===== Additional tips for delegation and team skill‑building =====
* Assign your email specialist (or a junior team member) to lead the skills‑map project: compile current team skills, desired future skills, gap analysis. You review the findings and set priorities.
* Run a quarterly “Capability Review” meeting with your sales leads: each lead presents one new skill their team has acquired, how it’s applied, what ROI it’s producing.
* Use micro‑learning platforms or short “skill sprints” (4‑6 weeks) for high‑impact areas (e.g., automation tools, member‑insight analytics). Start small, show wins, scale up.
* Build a “flex talent pool” for your marketing team: e.g., maintain a roster of trusted freelancers/contractors you can call on for surges (product launches, campaigns) so you don’t over‑hire.
* Maintain a workforce‑dashboard for visibility: This should include skill coverage, utilisation, cost per output, vacancy/critical roles pipeline, and link to engagement/retention. Review monthly.

If you like, I can pull together a ready‑to‑use 2026 workforce‑planning worksheet tailored for marketing and engagement teams (with these three considerations built in) that you can share with your team for execution. Would you like me to build that?
