Wouldn’t it be nice to never have to terminate another employee? If your company has a medium to high turnover rate it may be time to look in the mirror. Firing can reflect poorly on management and the company. In order to retain and acquire valuable, and loyal, employees you should evaluate a few crucial things in your hiring process:
- Do you make it abundantly clear to prospective employees what their job description is? Knowing what a job entails allows for an accurate self-screening process so candidates know whether they actually want the job, saving both you and the interviewee time.
- How much effort do you put into training? The right training leaves an employee confident in their abilities to perform and does not leave them with any questions to be afraid to ask.
- What are employees’ chances of moving up? An employee who feels trapped in a dead end job is not going to be doing their best and may have wandering eyes towards your competitor.
Hiring the right people from the start can provide a great work environment and keep the worst part of a manager’s job at bay.
