base Small firm Complaints - Good Help is Hard to Find

Finding good help is a common complaint among small company owners. Many owners believe that they must constantly supervise the activities of employees. Obviously, this can be very time spicy and can greatly restrict your capability to focus on growing your business.

The Law of Cause and supervene states that every supervene (result) has a cause (action).

As a company owner, you know the supervene or supervene you desire. You also know which actions will lead to that result. This is why you often baby sit your employees, or do the work yourself- you know how to get the desired results. But this creates a colossal burden on your time and energies. You lament that if employees would naturally do things the same way you would, you would have time to attend to other tasks. The solution is to form procedures for each task- that is, the steps required to achieve the desired result. When the policy is followed, the supervene is known.

When a company has a broad set of procedures, and those procedures are trained and followed, the results are consistent. In other words, procedures will furnish employees the instructions required to achieve a task the same way the owner would. The owner no longer needs to baby sit- he provides the valuable direction and training, and allows the laborer to be responsible for implementation.

There are lots of good workers out there. The trick is to find them and furnish them with a culture that meets their needs-both financially and psychologically. Employees want more than naturally a pay check-they want to feel appreciated and enjoy their work.

Finding the right employees can be time consuming. But if systems are developed for the hiring process, desirable results are more likely to be achieved. If you naturally hire at random- e.g., the guy who shows up-you are not likely to make a good hire. But if you have a process for advertising for employees, for interviewing, etc. You will greatly increase your chances of looking a good employee.

Just as you have steps for baking the perfect pie, or building widgets, or selling appliances, you should have a series of steps for hiring the type of laborer you desire.
