People Profits Principle #67
Do your employees drive you crazy with questions? Hard questions to answer? Questions they should know the answer to? Questions about things that are not their business? Irrelevant questions? Questions about issues you do not want to talk about?
Can you see this as not an intrusion but an opportunity? An opportunity to again try and get your message out? There are times when you can not talk about things - tell them why and as much as you can. Are you as frustrated with the issue as they are? Tell them that and ask for suggestions. How can we fix this problem TOGETHER.
People Profits Principle #66
Have you ever thought - "if I could just clone a particular employee - everything would be awesome!"? Did you know there is a way to do that? Do you know the strategies and systems available which can not exactly clone an employee - but come real close?
People Profits has done this repeatedly in numerous industries and sizes of companies. You don't end up with exact duplicates but you have a set of values, mindsets and goals. Would you like some help cloning your best employees?
People Profits Principle #65
Have you ever thought you knew what an employee or a group of employees were thinking about a subject? Only to find out they were thinking something totally different? Did you set up a strategy or a plan only to find out later the plan was irrelevant to the employees? How much did it cost you?
People Profits Principle #64
Is your Recruiting Strategy based on an extensive range of employee benefits? How expensive is it to provide that level of benefits? Are you getting the results you are looking for with the amount of money you are spending? How many of your candidates are coming to you strictly for the benefits? How many of those expensive benefits are irrelevant to some employees/candidates?
HR is a schizophrenic function - explaining the lack of results
Do you wonder why your HR function does not get the results you want?
