Do
You Face These Three
Common Human Resource Challenges? |
Challenge 1: Recruiting and hiring Mr./Ms. Right within a reasonable time
and at fair market value.
Solution: Create a leading-edge recruitment program to replace any
hit-and-miss system.
If you take the time up-front to develop a strategy and to "position" your
firm correctly, you will save hours of time lost to inefficiency, and you'll also save
money!
(See our free bulletin on this for more information)
Challenge 2: Keeping employees directed and focused.
Solution: Your staff will stay focused only when they fully understand your
expectations of them. Management must take the time to clarify each employee’s role.
- View Joel Barker's video, "The Power of Vision."
(Contact us. The video's free to
retainer clients.)
- As any team coach would do, create a "Who Does What" chart that enables all
employees to see where they fit on the team.
- Create job descriptions that give the employees an opportunity to present their
quarterly goals as well as the opportunity for the manager to define expectations so that
both employee and manager can review it as often as they need to stay on track.
Challenge 3: Communication is incomplete because communication
rules/expectations have never been clarified and there is no ongoing review process in
place for open, honest communication to occur as a continuous process.
Solution: Create an environment where open, honest and complete
communication can easily occur.
- Define your communication rules; this is critical.
-
Establish an ongoing review process. Place
equal accountability on both the
employee and manager.
- Require departments to meet monthly and to implement The Store’s easy-to-use
review model. (See our free bulletin for more
information)
- Require every manager and employee to do a formal quarterly review and to check
it monthly or as often as needed in order to remain current, complete and clear on goals.
