Hiring Wisdom 4 Things You Can Do to Help Avoid Mediocre Performers

by Mel Kleiman 在很多时候，正是那些平庸的职员的存在，使得你的工作团队效率一直不能达到最好，那么，造成这种平庸之风盛行的原因是什么呢？我们又该如何减少这种情况的存在呢？本文将为你讲述四个小贴士，以帮助解决这个问题。

Because I have worked closely with all kinds of clients in all kinds of industries, I have been able to pinpoint a widespread stumbling block that keeps too many organizations from being their best. It is the practice of tolerating mediocre performers. Let s face it, it s not the dishonest or disrespectful or undependable people who keep us from excelling. Most of us are smart enough to cut our losses and fire those losers fast. No, most often the cause of less than peak performance is the mediocre players who keep us from having exceptional, winning teams that outperform the competition. The main reasons mediocrity is allowed to flourish are because: Most of us are just too nice. We don t want to be responsible for hurting anyone s feelings or putting them in dire financial straights. We avoid short-term pain and end up tolerating long-term misery I just don t have time right now to hire and train a new employee. (This is another way of saying your team doesn t have any bench strength. In other words, the convenience of mediocrity trumps the inconvenience of change. We will have to pay unemployment. (No one stops to think about the long-term cost of substandard performance versus the limited-time payment of benefits. One way or another, you re going to pay and the right decision is in favor of the overall quality of your organization.) Four ways to help avoid mediocrity There are some simple solutions to these problems, but, like most things worth doing, they aren t necessarily easy: 1.Recruit and interview religiously: Make sure you are looking for new hires even when you don t need anyone at the moment. 2.Then, when you are not in desperation hiring mode, you can raise the bar: When you don t have to hire the first minimally qualified person who shows up, kick your hiring standards up a notch and don t settle for less. 3.Hold everyone accountable, including yourself: Spell out what it takes to be a successful member of your organization and make sure everyone knows exactly what s expected. 4.Become an employer-of-choice: Is yours a fun place to work? Do you have family-friendly policies? Do all the players on your team enjoy working together? When you can answer yes to these questions, you ll be able to attract top-notch talent at every level. 管理新知 您可能感兴趣的文章 HR微语—如何解决女性员工流失？
