I want to share with you some of the challenges and best practices for managing a work team in a commercial establishment. As an entrepreneur or manager, you know how hard it is to train, supervise, follow up, and retain your employees, especially when you are also responsible for marketing, sales, and attracting capital or cash flow for your business. You want to build a loyal and productive work team that can help you achieve your goals and grow your business.
But how do you do that? How do you prevent your employees from leaving your business for another one in less than six months? How do you deal with the psychology of mobility that makes some employees jump from one job to another for a small increase in their monthly income, without considering other factors such as the distance to work, the career opportunities, the work environment, and the company culture? How do you avoid hiring employees who have a history of job hopping and who will not stay with you for long?
These are some of the questions that I will try to answer in this post, based on my own experience and research. I will also give you some tips and strategies for training, supervising, and retaining your work team so that you can create a strong and stable workforce that can support your business growth.
Here are the main points which I will go over in some points but you need to keep in mind that every case has a different solution ( contact me for more solutions).
– The importance of training and supervising your work team from the first moment, which is the personal interview in which you accept the employee. You need to make sure that you hire the right person for the right job, that you communicate your expectations and goals clearly, and that you provide them with the necessary training and guidance to perform their tasks well.
– The problem of retaining your employees or your work team, which is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs and managers. You need to understand why some employees leave your business for another one, what are their motivations and needs, and how you can meet them. You also need to create a positive work environment and a strong company culture that can foster loyalty and commitment among your employees.
– The crisis of trust and the personal interest versus the overall interest, which is a common issue in the labor market. You need to be aware of the ethical and professional implications of hiring employees who have a history of job hopping, or of leaving your business for another one without giving proper notice or feedback. You also need to balance your interest as an entrepreneur or manager with the interest of your employees and your business as a whole.
I hope that this post will help you to improve your skills and knowledge in managing a work team in a commercial establishment and that it will inspire you to take action and implement some of the best practices. you can contact me for more help!
