Control Discretionary Spending
Not every expense in Q4 helps you close the year stronger. Take a hard look at discretionary spending which are things like travel, equipment upgrades, or non-urgent marketing. Ask yourself: does this spend drive immediate results or could it wait until January?
Postponing non-essential expenses frees up liquidity for what matters most like payroll, vendors, debt payments, and cash reserves. This doesn’t mean halting growth initiatives, but it does mean tightening the belt temporarily.
Protecting your cash in Q4 ensures you don’t end the year scrambling for funds. Tomorrow, we’ll focus on one of the biggest silent cash drains: excess inventory.
The best HR advice comes from those in the trenches. That’s what this is: real-world HR insights delivered in a newsletter from Hebba Youssef, a Chief People Officer who’s been there. Practical, real strategies with a dash of humor. Because HR shouldn’t be thankless—and you shouldn’t be alone in it.
