Good day everyone in this amazing community.
I hope everyone is doing great and having an amazing week.
I don't know whether this is a quote or adage in pidgin English, that says : Problem nor dey finish , which means problems don't finish, this is just the reality of life, life is full of obstacles on the journey of living. In every aspect of life, be it in Your workplace ,in your school, in your family, in your business, you will definitely encounter one challenge or the other.
I believe problems are like stepping stone to greater heights in life because is a person without problem is Non existent (Dead).
Today i would be telling you about one of my major challenges presently.
What is the problem am facing presently.
I have a lot to problem at hand, that i can't even share some of it here, some will require divine intervention before it can be solved lol.
For Me the major issue am facing now is the challenge of employing a trustworthy and reliable staffs.
In my shops , the number of staffs needed to run the business well, is 6 workers. But presently am running on as low as 3 workers only.
My Business is Agent Banking popularly known as Point of Sales (POS) business in Nigeria. The business deals with Cash in Cash Out transactions (CICO), Employing people for business needs a lot of cautions and vital steps to take.
Many people will be asking me that why is it so difficult to get a staff for work, well here are the things you need to know about the business here.
For any business owner, doing the same business,
Your staff needs to be very customer friendly
Your customers are priceless, they are king, you need to treat them like one, your staff or attendant must be friendly with customers not matter how the customers behaved, he or she needs to talk calmly and friendly to them so as to keep them and retain their patronage this is because there are many options on ground. This is one of the reasons why it is so hard sometimes to get a competent staff.
Your staff needs to be trust worthy
My type of business is the one that deals with handling of Money daily, like my pals will say, : Money is a spirit money can corrupt even a good person, with this in mind i have series of experiences where staffs steals, carry away huge sums of money, some even played bets with my money, some fraudulently got away with a lot of money and many other things due to lust for money. Me too.
Your staff should be good in calculation and handling of the Gadgets well
Some people can be super dull and very slow in calculations, these kind of people are bery bad for the kind of work i am doing, these kind of staff will end up having shortages all through the business.
People without guarantors are big problem,
Here is one of the big deals in the business, before employing any body to work in the company, there must be a guarantor that will stand for the staff, this is to stay on a safer side,
For my company, without a guarantor the person would never be employed this is because based on experiences with previous people that defaulted there must be someone that stand for the staff should in case the staff misbehaved when a guarantor is involved the guarantor is held responsible for the behavior or the misconduct of the person he brought or Stood for.
Nowadays there a lot of dishonest people out there and nobody is willing to stand as a guarantor for even his Siblings.
With all this points noted i really have issues of getting new staff, if there are other things you can suggest, it would be appreciated.
Thanks for Taking your time to read, do have a great day ❤️
