There are many things that go into making a business flourish. Everyone wants to earn money, but there is more to it than that. Some of the focus needs to be on how the business is run.
Inspiring Others When your employees are inspired, they are going to work harder. That is why the true advantage to success is inspiring others. You can put together four techniques to help your team excel.
When you have a game plan and a clear focus on what you want your business to be, you will do great things. It will equally look good from the inside and outside. Here are the areas that need to be focused on to make this happen.
Roles – How I Add Value Everyone wants to be a valuable asset to their work. When you know that you are needed and beneficial, you will work harder. If an employee knows their value to the company, research has shown that they work 63% harder.
To let employees know their role and their value, you first have to communicate with them. Sit down and have conversations. Be transparent and set goals. This way, everyone knows their roles and what they need to accomplish.
Culture – How We Operate A clear view of what a business expects and how they function is vital for everyone to know. When employees don’t have to question how the business is run, they are proven to be more successful. Some ways to do this are:
- Assess How Things Are Now
- Make Changes That Are Needed
Value – How We Make Money When running a business, it is just as much about long-term strategies as it is short-term. A clear view of the value expectations for both areas is vital to helping the business function. Many things need to be addressed, such as:
- Cost Reductions
- Acquisitions
- Strategic Initiatives
Behavior – How I Behave Each individual is going to possess their own characteristics. It is essential to have a clear outline of the behavior that your business expects. Have your employees prepared for all the situations that they may face. Offer training to make sure they are comfortable and equipped with the techniques they need. The company will do so much better in the long run when you show an interest in how your staff behaves. Not only does it show your employees you care, but it shows your customers as well. ~ Written for us by our associate Gary Sorrell, Sorrell Associates, LLC. Copyright protected.

| | | | | | Reasons Why Video Job Interviews Go Wrong | | Covid-19 had a significant impact on the virtual aspect of running a business. That being said, the internet has vastly been utilized for years and with social distancing and quarantine, the internet has kept businesses afloat. Not only are people working from home, but they also do job interviews from home with video conferencing.
Sounds Great, Right? Nearly 90% of companies were using video conference platforms for job interviews through the pandemic. Job interviews are something that many people get very nervous about and experience a lot of anxiety. So interviewing from the comfort of your own home sounds better.
Many companies have decided to make the switch to remote work and video conferences a long-term situation. Businesses are opening back up, but some have chosen to remain remote. Just because you don’t have to sit face-to-face for an interview anymore, the preparation is still just as important, if not more important.
Reasons A Video Interview Can Go Wrong Many distractions can occur within your home daily. This is something that you are used to and don’t think much about. When you are on a video conference, these noises and distractions can be bothersome.
Here are some tips on what to do to prepare for a video job interview:
Find a Quiet Place Dogs barking, kids playing, T.V.’s being on, or significant others cleaning behind you can all be negative occurrences while on a virtual call. It may not seem like much to you, but it can be very distracting on the computer. It also takes away from the professional atmosphere of a business.
Technical Problems Technology can be unpredictable, and everyone knows that. Glitches happen, and services are needed. Before you jump on a video conference interview, cover your bases. Ensure that you can work your computer correctly and know how to operate the system you are using. It can be negatively looked upon in a remote working world if you don’t know how to navigate your computer.
Busy Backgrounds Not only are the people on the other end of your video conference seeing your face, but they see what’s behind you as well. Don’t sit where a messy desk, kitchen, or other backgrounds can be seen. Find a place in your home that is simple and clean and set up there. Keep the focus on you and not the surroundings.
Be Yourself Remember to relax and act as you would in a face-to-face interview. Watch your posture and dress appropriately. Just because you are in your home doesn’t mean that appearances do not matter. ~ Written for us by our associate Gary Sorrell, Sorrell Associates, LLC. Copyright protected.
