Hiring employees. Is still a struggle in restaurants and other businesses.

Here is a point of view about this and, at the end, a solution or, much better, a definition for how to succeed in these circumstances.

No the middle class.  The poor class people who live making under 75K a year, – don’t want to work, maybe it is because they are receiving some financial help from the government which is just the necessary to pay bills, or another reason because conventional jobs which include working as a server in a restaurant or working as a cashier in a store is not attractive any more. Since the pandemic, people have been finding other jobs receiving the same money with some freedoms and some kind of fulfillment.

We are living in a new era. People are looking to live a better life, and the workplace is essential to live that better life. I remember in 2019 looking at the ticket price for a Tony Robbins live event in a stadium and the lowest ticket price: was $400 per person. Why people would want to pay four hundred dollars for a couple hours event? Because people want to bring to their lives better conditions. So I ask, can people find better conditions at your workplace?

Care. People are looking for care, somewhere where they can feel that the head of the organization cares about them.

Joy. Have that feeling to enjoy your work place, enjoy being part of a team and enjoy they activities.

Compensation. It’s about money, but not always. Having good monetary compensation for a job is essential, but money it is not everything in life. People don’t sell their dignity for money. I mean, nobody wants to work in a place where they are treated like garbage ad employees and paid a good salary.

Recognition. It is very simple say at the right time “Good job” to your employees. But this “good job” with actions, not just words, or publicly recognizing your employee of the month holding a picture on the wall. It is kind of a feeling of gratitude because your employees and show that gratitude.

Grow. Some of us are looking to grow in different areas in our lives. Providing some opportunities to grow in the workplace are essential as well. At least support, if you as business owner cannot offer a career, you can support your employees to move forward in another direction.

How to be successful in this circumstances? The answer: Retention and Productivity. How you can do that? Simple, practice; care, joy, compensation, recognition and growth.
