We believe that it is easier to invest in your promising and existing staff, rather than, replacing and hiring new staff. We have also realised that remuneration is no longer the major issue and that lack of respect from an Employer and certain working environments, are also considered important reasons for making people want to change jobs. In order to help you create and maintain a healthy relationship between Employers vis-a-vis the Employee, we are listing a set of obligations and hints that will help create this desired relationship: - After establishing the need to hire someone to assist in your organisation, make sure to identify the duties that must be carried out. Give an actual Job Description to both CSB, as a Recruitment Agency and to prospective candidates on the second interview.
- It is recommended that wherever possible, short listed candidates who are granted a second interview should be interviewed by their would-be senior and by a second senior person. The short listed candidates are to be asked for references from previous employers and to verify any excuse for non-submission. A Police Conduct Certificate is also recommended.
- When a candidate is offered the job and accepts it and after all terms of employment are made clear, make sure to present candidate with a Contract of Service. This should include an outline of their duties, agreed salary, benefits and any other particular condition.
- Make sure that ETC and TAX requirements are completed on the first day of engagement.
- On the first day of engagement do your best to make the new employee feel comfortable at place of work. Introduce candidate to all members of the staff.
- Explain the operations and what goes on.
- Assign all work gradually, making sure to follow-up carefully, without any pressure. Allow mistakes, but not carelessness.
- Follow up the progress of the new recruit and hold regular staff meetings.
- Respect all members of your staff and show them that you care about them as individuals.
- Avoid using foul language, it gives better results.
- Motivate your staff using constructive criticism and by showing them your appreciation, as necessary.
