When a company recruits people, do they think about the benefits that employees can bring to the company?

Not long ago, a friend who grew up playing with me invited me out for a get-together and talked with me about his experience some time ago.

This friend of mine works as an operator in a company that has just started. Since it is just starting out, the company is not large, with only seven or eight people. In a start-up company, everyone should know that if they do well, they will be the veterans, but the current wages are generally very low. During the company dinner two years ago, my friend and several other employees applied to the boss to see if they could increase their monthly salary by 600 yuan after the new year. The boss thought for a while and said, the company's profits are not very good at the beginning. Please persevere. When the company develops, you are all veterans and will definitely not treat you badly.

It didn’t take long for my friend to submit his resume online to find a job. He quickly found a job with a monthly salary that was more than 3,000 yuan higher than now, and then quickly changed jobs.

Several other people in the company saw this situation and followed suit, preparing to find new jobs. As a result, the jobs they found were much higher than their current salaries.

When the boss saw the current situation, he panicked and called everyone one by one to ask for a monthly salary increase of 4,000 yuan. However, everyone decided to leave, and in the end only one person reluctantly stayed.

In a company of seven or eight people, six people left at once, and the boss was desperate and could only hire two new people with high salaries. The two new recruits have very high salaries, but have very little work experience. It will take at least a month to take over.

When we talked about this, my friend was full of gloating:

"Originally, 600 yuan could solve the problem, but now 4,000 yuan can't solve it. I really deserve it."< /p>

In fact, this situation exists in many companies. They would rather hire new people with high salaries than give salary increases to old employees. Many bosses refuse salary increases because they want to save money. In fact, on the surface, they seem to be saving money, but in the end it is themselves who lose. How much will it cost to force out old employees and hire new ones?

"Fortune" magazine once calculated such an account: any employee changing jobs can cause a loss of 93% to 200% of the employee's salary to the company. If those who leave are core talents, there will be a time cost of close to one year. This includes a two-month recruitment period, a three-month adaptation period, and a six-month integration period.

In addition, recruiting employees also requires additional recruitment fees. Even with such a high cost, the recruitment success rate is still only about 50%.

Old employees are familiar with the company’s work content and work processes, and their work efficiency will be very high accordingly. Recruiting new employees not only pays higher wages, but also costs a lot of additional manpower, material resources and time to train. Therefore, the resignation of any old employee is a huge loss to the company.

Having said this, some people may have questions. Since it is not cost-effective to recruit new employees, why are they unwilling to give old employees a salary increase? Since you can be the boss, you are not stupid.

Perhaps some bosses think that if one person is given a salary increase, others will inevitably ask for a salary increase, so this gap must not be opened. But if you think about it from another perspective, if you don’t get a salary increase, you will change jobs, and the salary after changing jobs will be higher. The employees looked at each other one by one and began to think about changing jobs. This will not only affect the cohesion of employees, but also reduce work efficiency and company benefits. In the long run, the turnover rate will become higher and higher. So does the company still have a future?

Is it really because old employees are slacking off at work because they don’t have enough firepower?

Many bosses believe in the "catfish effect". They believe that when old employees lack passion and work status, it is because they are not competitive enough, so they need to recruit new employees to stimulate them, thereby improving their competitiveness and giving the old employees Employees bring a sense of urgency.

That’s true, but is this situation just caused by the employees themselves? Does the boss himself have problems?

Have all the big cakes that were once drawn been realized one by one now?

Are employees willing to work overtime? Do you have any opinions in your heart?

The morale of employees and whether they are motivated to work actually have little to do with new and old employees. The main responsibility is that the company's management is inhumane and its rules and regulations are unreasonable. Many companies promote a wolf culture and criticize employees every day for lacking wolf nature and being listless at work.

But they ignore that wolves eat meat. Will a wolf who is only fed grass still have wolf nature?

So when you encounter a problem, you must solve it from the root cause, otherwise it will be useless no matter how many new employees you recruit. Will new employees be better than old employees?

To be honest, a boss who would rather recruit new people with high salaries than give salary increases to old employees is either stupid or bad.

Many bosses would rather give verbal praise over and over again when they meet an old employee who has done an outstanding job than give any substantive reward. Even if the employees put it forward themselves, the boss will shirk it for various reasons. If there is really no other way, I will reluctantly raise my salary a little, just to coax you first.

If the boss above just lacks structure, then the next one can be said to be stupid. This kind of boss feels that it is only natural that others take his salary and work for him. He does not feel at all that employees earn compensation through their own labor. Instead, he feels that he is giving alms to employees. They think they can recruit people anywhere with money in their hands. Employees can work if they want and leave if they don't want to. Anyway, there is no way to raise wages.

Under such circumstances, old employees are changing jobs one after another, and the boss can only continue to recruit new people, and then spend a lot of time and energy to train them. As a result, not only the work efficiency cannot be improved, but it is also accompanied by an increase in various costs. With such short-sightedness, what else could it be but stupidity? The lesson that many bosses lack most: how to care for their employees

How to care for the employees who love themselves is what many bosses should learn the most. Nowadays, the era of fighting alone has long passed. This era is the era of team fighting. Putting aside all costs, if you want your company to develop well, uniting your employees is the most important thing. After all, employees are the main body of the company, and only a cohesive team can determine the company's development destiny. Can such a company develop well if it cannot treat its employees well?
