Bad Hiring Decisions

HIRING POORLY COSTS YOU MORE THAN MORALE

When your workforce is mediocre, your profits will be too.

Hiring > Buying

We can all agree that our people are our most valuable resource. They drive every process of the business, and we couldn’t function without them. So then why do most companies spend more time, money and effort picking a piece of capital equipment than they do on their next hire? Clearly the paradigm must shift in order to fully realize the potential of our hiring process.

Bad hiring decisions damage your business.

Whether because of the loss of morale, productivity, time, or effort, poor hires put a dent in the forward progress of any company. Their attitude or lack of commitment will affect those in direct contact with him or her, and their poor performance will result in poor productivity that will hinder your profits. When multiple bad apples exist within the bunch, you will have a difficult time mitigating the negative effects of their presence on your top performers, resulting in loss of productivity from everyone, not just your poor hires.

Hiring is the first step to success.

An exceptional workforce will produce exceptional results, in the way that a mediocre workforce will produce mediocre results. Filling your ranks with only the best will create an environment in which everyone has the ability and the drive to produce. When every member of your organization is engaged, motivated and fulfilled, poor productivity will be a thing of the past. But how can you create a workforce like this without spending an inappropriate amount of time on the selection process?
