Long Term Employees – Long Term Success
Many employers are forced or make the decision to lay off or fire long term and costly employees.
Then seemingly days later add those same roles to their jobs list online in hopes of getting a ‘deal’ from some unemployed person with a lot of experience and talent or graduate fresh out of college, but pay them half of what they should be getting for the work they will do.
This type of business is short term and yields a high turnover as soon as those new hires find a better job somewhere else. In the end the employer who takes this approach loses their original talented staff, the trust and dedication of the remaining employees and productivity goes down.
The best way to avoid these kinds of problems is to do the following:
1) Use a lot of common sense and have plenty of understanding.
2) Give credit and praise where it is due.
3) Pay close attention to what all of your employees are doing for you and think deeply about what will be lost if they are gone one day for whatever reason.
4) Never do anything to anyone that you would not feel is right to do to yourself or people you know. There is nearly always other options available.
5) Always keep communication open as to troubles the company may be facing so that your dedicated team is prepared to support the company.
