How do you handle the people involved in your business & maintain a developing culture with them?

Some people look for security through employment and are not entrepreneurial. This is how you can improve, or leverage your business situation - by employing people who add more value to your business than what they cost.

However, the employment relationship should be a mutually beneficial one, where the employee gains some security, additional skills and is valued as making a worthwhile contribution to the business.

As the business leader, you should utilize as many relevant ideas/skills of your employees as possible, while also recognizing their contribution to the success of the business. Staffing issues can cause unnecessary pressure in your business and it is a wise leader that initiates personnel procedures before they are needed.

To gain maximum leverage and return from your staff, you should be well organized yourself in terms of productivity and managing your energy. You should have defined goals, documented systems and processes for managing staff, this is especially so in times of crisis.

An engaging culture has a positive impact on productivity and performance at all levels - individual; team and the organization. Your leadership practices influence the culture of your business and this in turn impacts engagement.
