Hiring: A Big Responsibility

Reading people isn’t quite as easy as reading cards. A good employee is almost always worth a big bet; they are like the pocket aces of the poker world. If someone is good enough to find one, do what one needs to do to get them on board and keep them engaged. One of the most common mistakes that leads to failure involves hiring too many employees or too often. The hiring process is complex and should never be approached without proper consideration.

The journey starts with the hiring; most ideal situation can be stressful, but there should be a hope for the future of a potential employee. Good employers lead by example.  Promoting and motivating can be the valuable ways to build a robust workforce and motivate your employees to succeed. It would be positive step if one sets the tone early on and is consistent, will definitely create a working environment where employees will feel like they can work hard and thrive. Sometimes firing employees is not due their poor performance, but rather your own poor decision-making and understanding. The situations when you need to hire an employee are when you don’t have the skills and expertise to do a job, when it will cost you more to do the job yourself than to hire someone else to do it and when you hate doing a task that must be done. Hold all employees to the same standard and the best way to ensure you are treating all employee behavior equally is to have some sort of accountability.
Realistically, consider the high cost of turnover in personnel. It would be great if one checks on references and verify past experience listed of the employees and identifies the short-range and long-range personal and professional objectives. Betting large is a good thing, but only if you’ve taken the steps to figure out what kind of hand you’re holding.
