Tips originally broadcast on December 5, 2008
The Small Business tips today will be about promoting from
within.
- Find
out what skills people use when they’re not at work. Determine if you can
put those skills to use—in a higher position.
- In a
small company you should understand your advantage: a better position to
know what people’s abilities & interests are.
- Create
career paths for employees. Your people need opportunities to grow and to
stay interested.
- If an
employee needs outside training for a higher-level job, pay for it. That
will be cheaper than recruiting a new employee.
Daily Overview: Find and utilize the skills your current
employees have. Train them for what they don't have. It's cheaper!
I post small business tips on my Twitter account each day, Monday
