Hiring Employees and Team Building

Thank you, Bobbi Palmer for joining the call tonight and teaching us about Hiring Employees and Team building.

I learned the following from the call:

Hiring Employees--

• The value of hiring based on "characteristics and values" first and "skill set" second.
• Having a culture statement to express the business values.
• Having a clear written job description.
• Finding out what motivates the potential employee and whether that fits with your environment.
• That it is acceptable and important to test people before hiring.
• That we can go to your website www.bobbipalmer.com to get more info about questions to ask ourself before interviewing and questions we can't ask in an interview.

Team Building--

• The importance of defining the team.
• That people want to feel that they are treated fairly, have an opportunity to achieve, and that they feel part of the team.
• That they are recognized for their contributions.
• That money isn't the only motivator.
• The importance of communication.

I invite everyone to share their comments here.
