SIX CHARACTERISTICS OF A SOLID EMPLOYEE

-

1. PASSIONATE

Good employees who stay at a company are passionate about their work and their company. Finding passion in an interview can be tricky. Hopefully, all your interviewees seem passionate about the job (and if they don’t then that is an immediate red flag), but your job is to separate fake passion from real passion. More importantly, to find the people who can use their passion for their work.

2. COMMUNICATION SKILL

Companies are built by great employees who can work well together. That is built by strong communication. That is just internally, your company’s external success in sales, marketing, PR, and any kind of collaboration is also dependent on your employees’ ability to communicate well. This isn’t just expressing ideas coherently, it also requires the ability to listen to others and respond effectively.

3. GOAL ORIENTED

To grow your small business you’ve got to have goals. To reach your goals, you need goal-oriented people, employees who don’t get bogged down in the muck of office politics or taking credit but are committed to getting the job done and achieving the goal.

4. ORGANIZED AND DETAIL FOCUSED

A good communicator who is also a go getter is great, but not if they get lost in the details and can’t stay organized. When a small business is trying to grow employees often need to deliver on many fronts and the bosses can’t be micromanaging. This requires employees who understand how to organize their tasks and who focus on the details.

5. ADAPTABLE

Business is unpredictable and circumstances are constantly changing. The business environment is always evolving and small businesses are hopefully growing and maturing quickly. Good employees need to be able to adapt to new situations and grow with your business. You don’t want team members who are stuck in their ways.

6. CREATIVE

Companies always need creative team members to help find new solutions. One of the benefits of new hires is new ideas, but to make sure you get new ideas you need creative thinkers.

By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it.

1. Be open about your needs.   I believe that the first thing people need to do is identify what truly matters to them and communicate it. Don’t hide it and don’t expect others to guess what makes you feel balanced and fulfilled. Do you need to leave work at 5 p.m. so you can have dinner with your family? Do you need to step away at 12 p.m. to attend a yoga class? Whatever your sweet spot is you need to find it and be transparent about it. Employees need to have an open dialogue with their managers and managers need to understand what works and what is possible. Different jobs require different approaches, but everyone can benefit from having an open and honest conversation about what balance means. 2. Respect boundaries.   You cannot achieve your balance if you don’t respect the boundaries you have put in place. It will be hard in the beginning but you need to stick with it so you develop a routine and drive a culture and lifestyle of predictability. You will find that there is
