Staff Motivation, Training and Recruitment Today, it is widely know that the human capital aspect of any business is its greatest asset but although this is recognised, it is not always dealt with using the same levels of care that are applied to other assets. The main reason for this is that the others are inanimate, have no emotions, voice or intellect, and therefore much easier to deal with. Ignore, or turn a blind eye to your human capital at your peril. With the addition of many years direct experience in the recruitment and training industry, Strategium is in a strong position to assess your current and future staffing needs as well as the needs of your staff. Motivation A motivated workforce is a happy and healthy workforce who perform more efficiently and have fewer sick days. Training is a great motivator but is only part of the story. Training Attention to training is vital. This may well represent one of the best investments by any business. Trained staff are more confident and conduct their tasks in a measured, timely manner and will enjoy making their contribution to the business. SMEs tend to look on training as a bit of a luxury whereas successful large corporations may allocate as much as 15% of their revenues to this area alone. Recruitment When the time comes to recruit additional or replacement staff, many SME companies struggle. Job specifications are often well off the mark as they are left to line management who have little or no training in this area, after all it is a minor part of their rôle, and when it comes to the interview and selection process, things tend to get worse. Strategium operates via an established network of specialist recruitment companies who are able to create the exact profile for new hires and deliver qualified candidates. This methodology takes away a large part of the risk involved in staff selection… and it does work! Getting it wrong in recruitment is a costly error. Human Resource Management With the current rate of change in employment legislation, it is impossible for most SME managers to keep up to date in this area and have a real need for dedicated expertise from outside. The same applies to Health and Safety regulations. With our access to the CBS network, we are able to provide experts to advise on an ad hoc basis as these issues arise.
