Help! I can’t find employees
If you’re like many businesses in a post-Covid world, you are finding that the workforce shortage has drastically affected your ability to maintain quality, customer service, and even regular business hours.
One part of the equation was not caused by the pandemic; however, it was exacerbated by it. As more and more employees found themselves in unique situation‘s during 2020, some took time off, some worked several shifts, and some flat out refused to work in an environment that was a high-risk situation to their health. It was official; the balance of power between employers and employees was beginning to shift.
There are many things that employers, specifically small business owners, can do to attract and retain quality employees. Even in the workforce shortage. The question is, who is willing to face these head on.
People Want To Be Valued As Human Beings
if you are of the mindset that your employees are lucky that you hired them and they better get to work or else you’ll take the privilege of their job away from them, then you are living in the ice ages of capitalism. More than ever, people are stepping up and demanding that they be respected as human beings, not as a device to make the business machine more money. That means that we need to focus on things such as personal and professional development, adequate training, workforce development and interpersonal relationship training, leadership development, and management accountability. You may not be able to pay someone an incredibly high wage, but if you can help them feel personally valued and provide growth opportunities along the way, then you will find quality employees will knock at your door.
Create a leadership development program
I once had a client say to me, “Why do I want to teach them to become leaders when that will just make them want to leave me and go find someone who will pay them more?” The answer is simple: if your business becomes known for its ability to train people up for the next phase of their career, then you will be sought after. Many excited and engaged employees will join and work for less money knowing that they are going to learn highly valuable skills that will help them in their future career path. If you’re too worried about your competition, then you’re focused on the wrong things.
Different people value different things
Some people only work for the amount of money you can pay them. Some people work for you because they get incentive pay along the way. Some people work for you because they will be allowed vacation time that other jobs will not give them. Some people work for you because of the flexibility of hours. Find out what your employees value and work creatively to offer those things.
Customers need customer service training also
One of my favorite sayings is, “Profit is always a result.” The customer is not always right, especially if they are yelling, demeaning, or otherwise treating your employees at a lesser value. I have seen many examples recently of employers that are stepping up to rude and unkind customers to let them know that yelling or otherwise belittling their employees is not acceptable. This doesn’t mean that a business owner or manager needs to become confrontational, but firmly stepping in and de-escalating a situation with a customer who is treating your employees unkindly will go a long way.
