Human Resources
Build a better company through better employees.
One of the best ways to grow your company is to grow your
people--that is, increase their value and loyalty by guiding them
along their own professional paths, says Genie Snyder, founder of
Snyder Remarks ETC, a business consulting and organizational
training firm in Athens, Georgia. Ways to do that include:
*Creating position summaries and descriptions for each
job.Include both the tasks and skills the job requires, along
with the necessary personal characteristics (such as working
without supervision or the ability to make decisions quickly).
- Developing a strategy for each employee to reach his or her
goals.Have employees work with their supervisors to map out
what they need to do, such as taking classes or reading certain
materials, to get where they want to go. Although you'll be
supportive, be clear that individuals are responsible for
implementing their own strategies.
- Establishing internal internships and mentoring
programs.Encourage senior staffers to spend time with junior
personnel so everyone will have a better understanding of the
overall operation and how all the jobs connect. This will also help
people to learn about positions they may eventually hold.
