Most Small business owners struggle finding the right employees that want to help build a long-term successful business. They are stuck in the trap of needing to find qualified technicians to fill the minimum work order requirements but at the same time dealing with high turn-over rates within a few months of hiring. This cycle can be vicious! I’ve recognized the causal factors of this vicious cycle and distilled it down to 3 key Forces: Force #1. Attraction - Not having a reputation that entices people to actually desire to work for your company. With no pedigree or future opportunity, there is no reason for potential hires to choose you over any other job. This results in you wasting time, energy and resources sifting through unqualified and undeserving applicants. Force #2. Hire - Not having a purposeful hiring process to find aligned staff. Without a repeatable interview process you will never find the “right person” to hire. Those you do hire out of pure emergency will never last long. Interviewing takes time and purpose, when done wrong this results in confusion as applicants are first being introduced to your broken processes. Force #3. Retention - Not having the Vision, Potential or Stability to allow your staff the opportunity to contribute to your growth for mutual benefit. Employees need something that is worth showing up for beyond a paycheck. It is impossible to create teams that are invested in your company without showing them how you are invested in them. Barely treading water yourself while expecting peak performance out of others results in burn-out, hardly inspirational. Any of these 3 Forces can be crippling. If you are facing 1, 2 or all 3, I have good news! With the right processes you can avoid them and get your business to a level that future employees that want to build and grow your revenue!
