Hiring and Retaining Good Employees is critical to the success of every business, but especially in a small business where every employee makes a difference. How can a small business compete in attracting the very best employees? How can a small business retain their key employees to ensure its smooth operation?
Successfully hiring and retaining good employees are key strategies to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Good employees expand your brand, provide outside expertise for growth and increase the depth of talent in the organization. Too often, hiring in a small business is a haphazard event, undertaken with no plan or due diligence. Taking time to prioritize this key area of your business and develop some consistent hiring and HR practices will prevent employee problems down the road.
