While employee recruitment and selection are key to good business productivity it does not sell products. Business success is evaluated by both revenue and shareholders perceptions not your staff roster. Areas that are more worthwhile investments are product design and development and marketing. Investment in design ensures innovation and that the business is able to adapt and carry forward its successes as market conditions change. Investment in marketing promotes and helps to sell the product, build a brand image and overall increase profitability of the company. It won\u2019t matter how good a company\u2019s staff are, without sales of a product or service there is no financially viable way for a company to survive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strength in focussing on other areas of investment is the opportunity for the company to flourish with the resources and technology available without being tied to high recruitment costs. The biggest potential disadvantage is not having employees with the right knowledge and skills to best utilise the resources and technology available to them. This being said, I am an advocate for people (skilled or not) being open enough to learn and adapt into the company\u2019s mission. Hard work and perseverance can go a long way for existing employees in today\u2019s digital and modern work environment. People motivated to learn and change with the current market will be unstoppable, regardless of their qualifications and skills prior to employment at a company. For these reasons a business needs to carefully balance its hiring and recruitment costs to allow for investments in other core business functions allowing the business to adapt and thrive in any market condition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
