So you’ve launched your new bakery, wedding dress shop, etc.. (fill in the blank). It’s gotten to the point where you need to hire employees.
They’re going to work as hard as you do, right? They’re going to want to see your company grow as much as you do, correct? Wrong!…unless you follow some very simple steps that motivate employees to work as hard as you do.
- Set a Good Example – If you don’t work hard there’s nothing you can do to get employees to work hard for you. Remember that your attitude is contagious.
- Give them a Voice – Communication is key to making employees feel like they’re part of a team and teamwork will keep them motivated to work hard. Listen to everyone’s opinions, and incorporate some of their ideas in your overall plan. Employees are more motivated when they feel needed, appreciated and valued.
- Hire Employees who Have Great Leadership Skills – Even if they aren’t hired to be in a managerial position, look for employees who have great leadership skills from the get-go. These natural leaders will prove to be the “engines” that help you grow your business.
