There is a hidden profit leak in many small businesses. Payroll is typically one of the largest expenses in a small business. It’s also the source of a significant hidden cost—employee disengagement. During a Pumpkin Plan Kickstart Mike and I conducted, I walked our participants through calculating the cost of employee disengagement in their small businesses. The cost of employee disengagement ranged from several hundred thousand dollars to millions of dollars—ANNUALLY. OUCH!
Here’s the problem: It seems so hard to find good-quality people to hire that you hang on to marginal employees just so you have a warm body doing some of the things you need done.
You know you’re not getting the best out of these employees. They don’t go the extra mile for your customers, even though you’ve had “that talk” repeatedly in staff meetings. The truth is, they do just enough to get by. Plus, they often make mistakes that cost you lots of money in re-work. What’s worse….they may even be driving your best customers away. Ouch!!
Here is the harsh truth: If you continue to operate this way, eventually your business will die. Small businesses that hang on to too many marginal performers for too long fail.
That’s why it is an absolute MUST that you identify the right strategies for your business to find and attract A-Players. A-Players are resourceful. You can count on them. They find a way through and around problems, day in and day out. They go the extra mile for your customers. 1 A-Player can do the work of 9-12 C or D Players.
