🚨 The U.S. just imposed a 125% tariff increase on goods from China, effective immediately. I'm always looking for ways to help startups, so you can imagine my immediate reaction to this news: What does that mean for startups trying to scale fast with limited runway? For one, IT onboarding is expected to get more expensive. Laptops, monitors, accessories — anything sourced from China may now come with higher prices than we're used to. 💸 That unexpected cost? It adds up quickly when onboarding new hires, especially in high-growth environments (founders: iykyk) I recently broke this down in a blog post for Interlaced covering what these tariffs mean for onboarding, how to plan ahead, and what startups can do to stay ahead of them. Check out my post here: https://lnkd.in/gjJMQcvy And if you're navigating hardware procurement, onboarding, or remote device management — Interlaced is hosting a webinar to walk through it all.

Most teams don't realize how much time and money they waste every time someone new joins. Accounts aren’t ready. Permissions are missing.

These issues aren’t just annoying—they’re expensive. 💵💵 This webinar goes beyond the obvious. We’ll break down the less visible consequences of poor IT onboarding—like slow ramp-up times, scattered tools, and inconsistent security—and show you how to design a process that prevents them.

Most employees don’t even realize they’ve made a mistake until it’s too late. The good news? Awareness is the first step to prevention.
