When Should You Not Rehire An Employee?
|
12/21/2005
|
| |
It should be clear to everyone that employees make or break a business. My successes as a consultant have been directly related to building employee teams. In most businesses recruiting and keeping good employees determines the business' success. Almost all of my present and past clients have positions that require skill and experience. In the process of building a solid staff inevitably skilled employees threaten to quit or actually quit. It is these skilled employees we are examining here. The employees you fire for incompetence, bad work ethic, poor performance are not the focus here. You simply get rid of a bad employee and do not rehire them.

Jason Walker loves his job at Microsoft Corp. He finds the work interesting, and he gets to wear shorts and flip-flops to his Reno, Nev., office. What the 34-year-old commercial-account manager loves most, however, is his flexible schedule. Mr. Walker works 45 to 50 hours a week -- about eight hours a day in the office and the rest from home. He can work later if he chooses to ski on winter mornings. By Mr. Walker's standards, a job is only as good as the life it provides, and remaining a ski bum while maintaining a "really cool" job is worth every minute he spends at the office.

This is one of those broad questions that can take you down the wrong road unless you have done some thinking about what to say ahead of time. This question deals with your ability to sell yourself. Think of yourself as the product. Why should the customer buy?
