Entrepreneur's Workplace, Side Hustle Series

How Can I Invest In My Employees For The Long-Term?

There are many reasons by which to lower staff turnover. Not only can this prevent the invested capital, time, and energy in training from effectively fleeing your firm and using that for the good of someone else, but it can aid the reputation of your brand through and through.

Of course, when someone leaves your employment, that means you have to hire someone else and the cycle has to begin again. Even those who are tremendously experienced in the job itself will need to be onboarded into your specific workflow, and that can take time and energy to get right.

It looks at human meaning and purpose, the need for human connection, and whether there’s something bigger than us out there. This article is going to answer the question ‘Does spirituality have a place in the world of work?’

If You Can Follow A Recipe, You Can Sell Your Side Hustle

Approximately two months ago, I received a direct message from someone on Instagram and he said something along the lines of: “what do you do, I mean your real job?” This meant about three things, either he doesn’t take my blogging path as a career, he’s never visited my blog before to have an idea of what other things I do, or I had to sell myself.

And what did he mean by ‘real job’? Was blogging or creating videos a ‘fake job’? Jeez. This is a job as we now have countless social media gurus and other people who make a living off of the internet.

After a quick research and a bit of pondering, I was sure of one thing. I didn’t have to sell myself to him.

A People-Centric Business Is A Profitable Business

It might sound counter-intuitive but you’ve got to stop thinking about profit if you want your business to be successful. You’ve got to focus on people. It isn’t money, computers, statistics, or even shiny products that keep the wheel turning in the business world.

Are You Creating The Best Possible Atmosphere For Your Employees?

*This is a collaborative post.

Out of all the different things that go into making a business successful, it’s pretty hard to deny that there is anything more important than your employees. After all, no matter how great your ideas might be or how well constructed your business plan, if you don’t have employees there to turn it into a reality, then your business is never going to be able to reach levels of success that you really want.

Of course, a lot of business owners make the mistake of assuming that all your employees need to stay happy and motivated is a paycheck at the end of the month. Of course, paying them a fair wage is incredibly important, but it’s certainly not the only thing that matters when it comes to taking care of your employees.

How to go about Employee Orientation

One way a company can familiarize with new hires is through an orientation process. This involves some form of introduction to new employees on long and short term goals of the organization, values, mission, and the management structure of the company. Expectations are thereafter set and this gives the new employee a broad idea of what to expect on the job. It also gives him/ her an impression of the company’s culture. Therefore, you certainly don’t want to have a poor orientation process for your company.

The day your employee agreed to an employment contract you both entered into an employment bargain- that the employer will pay the employee some form of compensation in exchange for his/her time, effort and work with certain limitations.
