All,
As a result of a long-winding appraisal interview and discussions, I am now
being given the opportunity to start (recruit, train, and manage) a team of
4-5 Technical Writers. I am being given the freedom to choose/decide on
experience levels, numbers of people, recommend remuneration packages,
training, etc.
I have handled teams and projects in a big e-learning (CBT/WBT) company -
but that was essentially client-driven projects. However, nothing of this
scale, and have always had processes and standards to refer.
I am supposed to create a proposal and a plan for this in a week's time.
While I have some ideas about how to go about this, I would like some
guidance and suggestions.
I would like to know the considerations, training requirements (for self),
challenges, or any other information/ ideas anyone may have.
Happy Wednesday!
