One of the problems associated with handling a business is getting the right staff for your business, getting them is not even as important as being able to keep them, the truth about humans is that they constantly want to be in a place where they are comfortable and nothing else, as a new business owner it may be difficult to provide them with the type of comfort that they desire so they may leave one after the other.
However, I learned about certain tricks that work, let's take some time to go through them and after reading this post, you may either choose to agree with me or point out some of those things you do not agree with, whichever way you choose to go about it is perfectly fine.
Understand that you get to make the sacrifice.
As a small business owner, you are completely responsible for building the bridge and connecting the necessary gaps in your business, you will be extremely lucky to find a staff who is willing to go through the process of building with you, but before you find one, simply bear in mind that you are the one who would basically have to go through the challenge of building and fixing all by yourself.
Try to understand your employees.
The fact about humans is that no one likes to feel used and that is exactly what most business owners do, your employees will be quick to look for another option the moment they feel used by your company. As much as you can, try to communicate with them about their needs, ask questions about how they are really doing, make your office or mobile number available for them to reach once there is a need for that. Outside the growth of your business, find time to communicate other crucial matters with them.
Give other rewards.
Payment of salary is not the only way to appreciate your employee, take them out on a quick lunch break, grab some free snacks for them on your way back to the office, and lots of other things you could do in order to make them feel loved which may not even be monetarily demanding.
Show that you can also participate in the assigned tasks.
I understand that as the CEO, there are lots of responsibilities attached to the title but most of the staff may not have an open eye to the responsibilities you carry out, and as such, you may appear lazy before them (that may be none of their business), but also bear in mind that you are trying to build a strong relationship with these employees and you should let them know that you can also get your hands busy like them and you are not just ordering them around.
While it is very good to maintain a staff in your business, you must also be careful to maintain the right ones. Make sure that the staff in question is also ready to build and make necessary sacrifices for your business and does not have the intention of ruining your hard work or making it look useless.
Thank you for your time, I wish you all the best in your new business.
