Add You - Are You Getting The Best Out Of Your Staff?
Hair care has been around as long as humans have been on the planet. The earliest record of personal hair care dates back 2.5 million years ago, when brushes used to create cave paintings in Spain and France were adapted for use in hair grooming. Interestingly, many of the innovations in hair design that are still used today originated in the late 19th century.According to 2002 statistics, there were 1.4 million personal care services in the United States, 313,000 of which

A career in pharmaceutical science is always rewarding and pharmacy technicians are the leading professionals in the pharmaceuticals industry. Generally pharmacy technicians do a lot more than pharmacy aides, so the rewards, benefits, and career chances are brighter for pharmacy technicians.Pharmacy technicians should hold a national pharmacy training certificate. Pharmacists usually prefer to employ certified pharmacy technicians. The regular course and learning procedure du
Well the answer is none of the above. The thing that comes out number one time and time again is staff needing to feel like they are wanted and that they are making a difference in their role. Wow! Who would have thought of that? Something so basic as feeling wanted and needed.
So this begs the question, how many companies use this as a motivational tool to get the best out of their workforce? Well I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea on the answer to that question but I can take a guess using my own anecdotal evidence. Not many. I certainly have never worked for a company that thought anything other than large bonuses or large foots planted up the rear end of under-performing staff could get the best out of people. On top of that, I have never worked with a company in a coaching role that looked outside the bonus or boot box or even have any friends that have regaled me with fascinating stories of senior management concerned about their wellbeing and sense of belonging. Now let me say at this stage I realize that I am being flippant and that of course there will in actuality be some well managed, thoughtful organizations that have blissfully happy and content workers going about a job that they feel is important and meaningful, but I think they are few and far between.

When you own a business, you may find yourself in situations that may be a little tricky to handle. Dealing with customers who steal is one of them.A few years back we were faced with the problem of how to handle our free water cups. It seems some of our customers were filling them with the fountain drinks instead of water. This was, of course, was theft - pure and simple, but we felt confronting the guilty customers would create a bad atmosphere in our restaurant and we

Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. . . . These whimsical pictures, in as much as they originate from us, may well have an analogy with our whole life and fate. - Ralph Waldo EmersonMy fascination with dreams began nearly two-and-a-half decades ago when, seemingly out of nowhere, a torrent of unusual dreams roared into my life. It was as though somewhere in my psyche, someone had opened an inner floodgate. Even t

Whereas this apparent lack of common sense worries me somewhat it also gives me hope for smaller businesses that want to compete with the big guys. Depending on what line of business you are in staff hiring and firing will be one of your biggest expenditures. A company I worked for a few years ago estimated that each member of the sales staff cost them over $20k to recruit, kit out and train! This was a company that had a lot of sales people and seemed to be going through an ever-increasing rate of churn as old dispirited, worn out staff left and new people came in. So what did the company do to stop the hemorrhaging? They offered bigger bonuses, put more employees under the cosh of directives, generally ‘tightened things up’ and of course ramped up workloads. Did they try and make staff feel wanted and needed? Did they demonstrate this by lowering quotas or workload? Did they ask staff what they could do to stem the tide of people leaving? No of course not, they simply used the same tired old tactics that have always ‘worked’ in the past and that’s just the way it is. Except they didn’t work this time and staff retention dropped instead of rising back up as expected.
So I am encouraged, encouraged that smaller, leaner more forward thinking companies can use different tactics, that they can actually try to align with their employees and get the best out of them not because they are greedy for more money or frightened of losing their job but because they genuinely want to be involved in growing a business that not only wants to make money but also wants happy and productive personnel. So if they can go head to head with the traditio
