Tame the 2023 inflation beast and prepare for a recession now (Total Landscape Care)

Landscape contractors are accustomed to enduring unpredictable weather, but this year's sudden onslaught of inflation, which came on like an unexpected ...

Having been in the landscape contracting industry for 18 years, LandOpt and its members have been through more than a few economic challenges. At this in-person event, we use a proprietary planning tool that guides members through a detailed process to create a financial map for the following year. Based on the results, several contractors decided to add a 1% to 3% fuel surcharge to their maintenance contracts. For example, this year, many LandOpt contractors used the projection tool to see how rising fuel costs would affect their performance. He has a bachelor's degree in IT Management and an MBA. With the busiest part of 2022 having passed and 2023 approaching, this is the time to start looking ahead to next year. Fertilizer costs are expected to again rise because of the demand for natural gas. Peer into the contactors’ crystal ball and you’ll see a cloudy forecast. For much of the year, unleaded gas was running a dollar higher than expected, with some fuel suppliers even adding surcharges. And if recent years foretell the future, 2023 will bring surprises that no one can foresee. The LandOpt system saw an average 6% to 7% hike in wages. Landscape contractors are accustomed to enduring unpredictable weather, but this year’s sudden onslaught of inflation, which came on like an unexpected storm, presented a whole new set of challenges.

Designers: how to prepare for a recession (Creative Bloq)

How to prepare for recession? Figma's Luis Ouriach and Andrew Hogan offer some recession proof advice.

Hogan explains a key takeaway from Figma's research is that HR teams need to listen to the needs of "top talent" and respond accordingly. Despite the volatile economy, designers today have many choices and hiring teams need to find ways to gain a competitive advantage as an employer of choice." Networking is not for everyone, however, and let's be honest, some of us choose a life in design because we like our work and creativity to do all the talking. Hogan tells me: "Almost all of the design team leaders in the UK we [Figma] recently surveyed (95 percent) have open designer positions needing to be filled today. Is it time, even as a recession looms, to create a portfolio and apply for new jobs? So, yes, even with a recession looming designers are in demand and can make demands. Here's a thing, you may feel under threat as bad news about the economy gathers pace, but Figma's Insights and Analysis, Andrew Hogan, has some good news: "design talent is critical – and in fierce demand". Networking and referrals play a large part in bigger organisations, which isn’t something we can change overnight, but for most people your passion for the work and strong portfolio should be enough to promote progress." Below are a series of questions he suggests you ask yourself in order to frame you own personal Golden Rules. He continues: "Something I try to say to all designers is that the first thing we should feel comfortable with is discomfort. Keeping these rules in mind and using them daily, Ouriach says he you can "protect myself from this adversity by making sure that I’m aligned with what I value". "Design is (unfortunately) often subjective in nature, which means that we can find ourselves in situations where business authority can question our good intentions," explains Ouriach.

One view is that we are axiomatically immune to the same, as our economy is decoupled from the rest of the world’s.
