How To Employ Staff

You have done the all the big capital outlay for the business – property, vehicles, plant and equipment, branding and the like. Your business is now at a stage that you need staff. And you thought the big costs were over – wrong!

When you look at the costs involved with recruiting a new employee and getting them up to speed you can easily match the cost of more than one of your company vehicles. Unlike a vehicle a significant part of that cost will be repeated every year in the form of wages. Get that employment decision wrong and much of that initial cost is repeated. Academic studies have shown that the cost of recruitment, when all factors are taken into account, can equate to one and a half times the new employee’s annual wage.

It makes a lot of financial sense to get this process right first time.
