Investing In and Motivating Your Staff

We are all fighting to keep all our positions filled with he best employees. Sometimes we win and maintain low turnover for a period of time, and other times all we seem to do is conduct interviews and train new employees.

There is no magic bullet to completely solve the war over retaining and motivating employees, but there are some easy steps that can help us reduce costly turnover. As an Antares vending business owner you need to take an aggressive role in keeping and developing your employees. The most consideration is your attitude towards your employees. Vending is a people business, so just we would like to have people who like to serve the customer, you will also need your employees to like working for you.

Hiring is a big part of creating a successful work environment. You will find that when you have the right employees in place, it is much easier to motivate them. You will need to create a workplace for your Antares vending business that rewards and encourages. You just need to find out what motivates each employee.

Use employee evaluations to motivate

Employee evaluations are an important tool in developing your staff. Most employees don’t like these evaluations because it amounts to having someone criticize them. But if the evaluation is done right, an employee can be a great tool for boosting morale in your staff. Periodic evaluations will also provide management an opportunity to interact with employees.

Low cost morale boosters

You will always need to keep your Antares vending employees motivated for the smooth and efficient running of the business. There are a few boosters that you can use to do this. You can decide to give a day off with pay to your employees, or you can start a subscription to a magazine for your employees that will be tailored to their interest, which is vending. These are just a few of the perks you can offer.

With unemployment reaching historic lows and with performance demands rising, Antares vending operators as well as other operators will have no choice but to invest in their most valuable resource, their employees.
