The idea of looking for employees when you first start your own business is rather daunting, not only because the task itself is a hard one, but also because you would have worked so hard to create your business from scratch all by yourself, so the idea of then bringing in strangers is difficult to imagine because it’s your baby. But sooner or later you will have to if you want things to grow and expand.

The kind of employees you have though can either make or break your business. If you get the right people, they can carry you all the way to success and provide you with any support that you need.

But if you bring in the wrong people, they can totally tarnish everything that you’ve worked so hard for, so you need to make sure that you choose the best of the best and never settle.

Here’s how you can ensure your employees are the best in the business!

Good Attitude

While having all the credentials on paper is always a good thing, it should never be just about that, because being a good team player and all-around addition to the team isn’t just about what degree someone managed to attain in school.

You don’t want someone working with you who is miserable, as this will just bring everyone down and won’t do any favors for the mentality of the group.

So if you have the option of choosing someone who has all the qualifications, but no personality, or a friendly, welcoming manner, but lacks experience, always stick with the second option. You can train someone to work perfectly, you can’t train someone to gain a personality.

IT Knowledge

Regardless of what kind of industry you’re in, you will always need employees that know their way around a computer, because as technology is so important nowadays, that is where everything is kept.

It holds all the most valuable documents and files, as well as bank accounts, and a form of communication to customers and potential business partners, so they need to know what they’re doing. You will also want to introduce them to the services of email hosting so that everything is more manageable.

Can-do Mindset

Ensure Your Employees Are The Best

You want all of your employees to always be positive and believe in themselves and the job at hand. When you set weekly or monthly tasks and goals, you should expect all of your staff to be motivated and ready to meet all the objectives you have set out for them. You want people who see the glass half full as opposed to half empty.

You don’t want to bring someone into the business who complains and makes excuses as to why they couldn’t meet the target that was set. This will only slow you down and just create a liability that you are then expected to keep an extra eye on, and you don’t have time to do that.

So now you know what to look out for, keep it in mind when you’re finding that perfect set of employees. Yes, this should help you ensure your employees are the best in the business, especially in yours!

    Having the right employees is going to make your business thrive. Having been a hiring manager for a big business, sifting through applications and doing interviews will give you very little details on how well people will work out. Some people have skills at paper work and verbal skills to get through the interview process.
    Some one making excuses on why they do not make deadlines is the first clue that they will not work out, any good employee will beat deadlines and give you a great product with out you standing over them. These employees are hard to find sometimes.

      Hello John,
      Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, some people can ‘master’ the interview process and fail miserably at the job they were hired for. Unfortunately, it is a learning process. Yes, with exposure and experience, you will be able to sift through most of them during the second or third interview process, however, the rest will come with actual job function. In any event, every business owner needs to be on their ‘toes’ when it comes to hiring personnel.
      All the best.

    I am not an employer, but I have watched a friend develop a large business over the years. It is so true that a rotten apple can spoil the basket! While she does have employees that are long term and trustworthy, she has occasionally been taken advantage of and sued by people with predatory motivations. It is indeed tricky to catch these types in hiring interviews. She’s quite skilled now!

      Hello Dianne,
      Thanks for your visit and your thoughts. Yes, you need to be ‘wary’ of the characters that you come in touch with on a personal and business level – you can’t be too careful Sure, sometimes, you might fall victim, but there is still a lot you can do to minimize the impact.
      All the best.

    You have brought here some really good point Michelle, and it would be wise to take them into consideration when hiring new employees.
    Yes, you are right, being a business owner is really like owning your own baby and you’d better be selective as to whom you’ll let take care of it and guide it.
    I like the analogy to it.
    Wishing you $ucce$$

      Hello Orion,
      Thanks for your visit. Thanks for your thoughts too. Yes, we need to ‘baby our business’ the same way to give the nurture to the ones we love. We need to see the correlation and act accordingly. In the long run, we all win!
