Hiring New Employees for the Small Office
When hiring new employees for your small-office environment,
keep a few of these items in mind….
Personality does
matter
When working together in a smaller and tight knit office,
employees need to be comfortable around each other and be able to get along
well on a day-to-day basis. You will
greatly rely on each other to get the work done and need to know that each of
you can be trusted to follow through.
Most small offices are very busy and no one wants to feel like there are
personality clashes or someone is always picking up the slack.
Offer competitive
total compensation packages
To attract top talent, you need to pay a good salary and
offer the benefits employees will be expecting.
Today’s workforce is really expecting a lot out of their employers as
well as flexible working arrangements.
When budgeting in salaries, keep these items in the back of your mind
and it may mean you have to cut someplace else.
Describe what a
typical day will be in the office and offer the whole picture of what the new
employee will be expected to do.
Consider using realistic percentages in your job
descriptions of the amount of time for each area of responsibility. You want to be sure you have the right fit
for the position since turnover costs the company much more money in the long
run. Working in a small office may mean
people are often performing multiple jobs, working in a fast environment and
need to multi-task at a high level. Not
everyone is capable of handling that atmosphere and not everyone will want to.
