Would rather hold a recruitment.

Not long ago, a friend who grew up playing with me asked me out to a party and talked to me about his experience some time ago.

My friend works in a startup company. Because it has just started, the company is not big, with only seven or eight people. Everyone in a startup company should know that if it is done well, everyone is an old hand, but the salary at this stage is generally very low. Years ago, at a company dinner, friends and several other employees applied to the boss to see if 600 yuan's monthly salary could be increased after the year. The boss thought for a moment and said that the company's initial income was not very good. Let's stick to it. When the company develops, you are all veterans and will certainly not treat you badly.

It didn't take long for my friend to submit his resume online to find a job, and soon he found a job with a monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan, and then he quickly jumped ship.

Seeing this situation, several other people in the company followed suit and prepared to look for a job again. As a result, the job they found was much higher than their current salary.

When the boss saw the present situation, he suddenly panicked. One by one, he called and said that he would get a salary increase of 4,000 yuan every month, but everyone decided to leave, and finally only one person reluctantly stayed.

The company of seven or eight people left six at once, and the boss was in a hurry and only hired two new people with high salaries. These two newcomers have high salaries, but little work experience, and it will take at least one month to take over.

Talking about this, my friend gloated:

"600 yuan can solve the problem. Now 4000 yuan can't be solved well. Really worth it. "

In fact, this situation exists in many companies. They would rather hire new people with high salaries than give old employees a raise. Many bosses refused to raise their wages with the idea of saving money. In fact, on the surface, they seem to be saving money, but in the end, they lost themselves.

How much does it cost to get rid of an old employee and hire a new one? Fortune magazine once calculated that any employee who changes jobs can bring 93% to 200% salary loss to the company. If you leave all the core talents, there will be a time cost of nearly one year. It includes two months of recruitment, three months of adaptation and six months of integration.

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

Old employees are familiar with the company's work content and workflow, and the corresponding work efficiency will be high. Recruiting new people not only has a high salary, but also requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time for training. Therefore, the departure of any old employee is a huge loss for the company.

Speaking of which, some people may have questions. Since it is not cost-effective to recruit new people, why not give the old employees a raise? Since you can be the boss, you are not stupid.

Maybe some bosses will think that if one person is given a salary increase, then others will definitely ask for a salary increase, so this cut must not be opened. However, if you put yourself in the other's shoes and jump ship without raising your salary, your salary will be higher after jumping ship. The employees looked at each other one by one and all had the idea of job-hopping. This will not only affect the cohesion of employees, but also reduce the work efficiency and company benefits, and the turnover rate will be higher and higher in the long run. So will the company have a future?

Is it really because of the lack of firepower that the old employees are slack in their work?

Many bosses believe in the "catfish effect". They think that when the old employees lack passion and working state, it is because they are not competitive enough, so they need to recruit new employees to stimulate them, so as to improve their competitiveness and bring a sense of urgency to the old employees.

That's true, but is it just the employees themselves? Is there something wrong with the boss himself?

Have all the cakes drawn been cashed now?

Are employees willing to work overtime? Do you have any ideas in mind?

In fact, the morale and enthusiasm of employees have little to do with new and old employees. The main responsibility is that the company's management is inhuman and the rules and regulations are unreasonable. Many companies admire the wolf culture, and criticize employees for their lack of wolf nature and listlessness at work every day. However, it ignores that wolves eat meat. Can a wolf who only eats grass be a wolf?

Therefore, the problems encountered should be solved from the root, otherwise it is useless to recruit new employees.

Will new employees be better than old employees? To tell the truth, those bosses who would rather recruit new people with high salaries than give old employees a raise are either stupid or bad.

Many bosses meet old employees who have done a good job and would rather praise them repeatedly than give them a substantial reward. Even if the employee puts forward it himself, the boss will shirk it for various reasons. There is really no way to barely raise your salary, so I will coax you to say it first.

If the boss above just lacks the pattern, then the next one can be said to be stupid. This kind of boss thinks that it is natural for others to work for him with his salary. He doesn't feel that employees are paid through their own labor at all, but he feels that he is giving alms to employees. They think that with money in hand, they can go anywhere to recruit people. Employees can do whatever they want and leave if they don't want to. There's no way to raise wages anyway.

Under such circumstances, all the old employees have changed jobs, and the boss can only keep recruiting new people, and then spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate them. This will not only improve work efficiency, but also increase various costs. So short-sighted, not stupid, what can it be?

What many bosses lack most is a lesson: how to care about their employees and how to care about their employees. This is what many bosses should learn most. Nowadays, the era of single-handedness has passed, and this era is an era of team struggle. Putting aside all costs, it is the most important thing to unite employees if the company wants to develop well. After all, employees are the main body of the company, and a cohesive team can determine the development destiny of the company. Can such a company develop well if it can't treat its employees well?
