A company is a three-way road. The first road is the employer’s path to financial success. The second path is towards the customer’s satisfaction. And the third is the employee’s road to security. A person always seeks a company who is stable and exists for years already. And start-up companies have difficulty hiring good people because they have yet to prove. And the good way for start up companies to employ good employees is to evaluate the agenda that most workers want to know after hiring and during employment.

Direct information on employment contract where other agenda are not hidden somewhere. When you try to pirate a good employee from another company, lay out all the plans you want for the person. And in return seek his opinion and dedication as well to the plans and programs of your company. If at the start of the operation you can’t address the compensation package you offered because of negative working capital, be honest with the employee. Offer some amendments like deferred compensation package or stocks sharing or revenue. The main idea here is to be honest and at the same time address his right to remuneration. An honest employer can expect a loyal employee.

Do not make upfront commitment. Employees lose trust and confidence to any company who makes variable decisions. When you think that the company can’t address the need of the employee for increase in salary do not make commitment to immediately address this unless you have all the data already. The more you commit promises you can’t make the more a worker expects and leads to complaints afterwards because of unfulfilled obligation. It’s good to make a good impression to the employees but en employee must be obligated also.

Do not delay the salary and benefit. Workers’ only source of income is from employment. And if this only source is delayed even for some good reason, a company loses the trust and confidence of its employees. This would lead to idle work and lesser output of service or products. Always prioritize the salary of the workers or the operational needs of the company. You can choose to delay the payment for supplier than you employees. Because in the end you can find as many suppliers you can but not a loyal and good employee.

Appreciate and make your employees’ work relevant and important. No matter how minimal the responsibility and position of an employee, it is always part of the company’s growth. And knowing that they have importance and contributes to the growth of the company would fuel their passion for hard work. Just like a child to his parent, a child always seeks appreciation from their parents. And if their parents openly appreciate the deeds of their children, the children grow to be happy and mature individual.

As a three way road, an employer must always address the need of its employees, and like wise the employees will also fulfill its duties for service and good output to the third party which are the customer. The customers who are satisfied and happy with the services create good revenue for the company.
