It’s just good business ………….
Friday, October 3rd, 2008
Everyday businesses across the United States make decisions, some tough and some are easy. Hiring new employees are one of the most difficult decisions managers have to make. Why? Well if you hire the wrong candidate you run the risk of actual hurting your business. When you hire someone you are actually hiring people to represent you and your business. Still need convincing? Here are the obvious outcomes of hiring the wrong candidate:
1. Conflict: How much of your time is spent trying to get employees to communicate more effectively with you or their co-workers.
2. Poor Productivity: This is the number one business issue today.
3. Errors: Some people have the competencies to be trained quickly, continue processing new information and multi-task. Others don’t and create the costly errors that their teammates are forced to solve.
4. Lost Customers & Sales: You know when you’re business is experiencing conflict, apathy, low motivation and errors. So do your customers; and they won’t put up with it.
If you really care about YOUR customers that keep you in business, stop hiring the wrong people and stop losing clients to your competitors. The topic at hand is WHY should employers hire older workers? Today I learned a pretty amazing statistic about the older jobseeker.
The turnover rate for employees under 30 is six times greater than that of employees that are over 50.
