Did You Ever Stop to Realize??

If you ever had a chance to think about it, you’d realize that whenever you hire a .00 frontline hourly employee it is the same investment as if you were to buy a 0,000 house! (Your monthly cost would roughly be the same; 40-hour employee = ,600/mo. wages; 30 year mortgage loan payment = ,600/mo.)

That’s precisely why you need to choose your next employee as carefully as you would a new home.

1. When you buy a house, the first thing you look at is curb appeal, but you’d never buy based on just that. (Same goes for job applicants and first impressions.)

2. You would never buy without knowing it meets all your needs. (Likewise, never hire a new employee who doesn’t have the required mental and physical capacities, attitudes, personality, and skills needed.)

3. You would look at the neighborhood and pay for a professional house inspection. (Never hire a frontline employee without contacting personal and professional references and doing background checks.)

4. You might buyer a fixer upper, something with potential. (You’ll maximize your ROI if you interview and hire for attitudes and train for skills.)

While both “purchases” represent an ongoing outflow of about ,600.00 per month, the employee comes with all kinds of added costs, including training, management time, supplies, etc., as well as the fact that the employee’s costs will rise over time.

This is precisely why managers should “shop” carefully, evaluate every hiring decision as the long-term liability it is, and ask if the cost of the new asset will be more than paid for by the returns delivered.
