Anatomy of a Perfect Hourly Employee
Culturally diverse • Millennials, or Generation Y, workers are expected to make
up more than half of the workforce by the year 2020.
• This is the most culturally diverse generation, and they work will with all walks of life.
• Hiring Millennials helps instantly diversify your restaurant with employees known to work well in groups of all kinds of people.
Values Intangible benefits • 60% of applicants place a positive company culture as
the highest importance when it comes to benefits.
• Applicants looking for a good work environment are the ones you should be hiring.
Higher expectations of career progress, like to be challenged to move ahead
• Employees displaying a drive for success and wanting to move up in the company are the kind of hires you want to replicate.
• Challenging employees to further their skills makes them more likely to stay with the company for a successful career, rather than just an hourly job.
• Applicants asking questions during the interview process like “how can I move up in this company” and “how will I be challenged here” are the ideal candidates for long-lasting, engaged employees.
• Furthermore, asking applicants questions like “where do you see yourself in six months if you were to get this job” and “why do you believe you will be a good fit here” can give hiring managers an insight on who the applicant is and what his/her goals are.
Tech Savvy • Technology is everywhere and only
improving each day.
• Tech savvy employees can learn on newer software easily and quickly, and will likely have suggestions for improvements, too.
Personality • You can’t train a positive
personality.
• Applicants who may have less experience but seem to be a good fit with the company culture are worth training.
• It’s also a good idea to have applicants interact with your current staff.
• Staff feedback will give you a good idea on how the applicant will fit in with the company culture.
Communicate Effectively • Interpersonal skills are something else that can’t be trained.
• Applicants who seem to be able to communicate well with others in the interview process will likely hold that skill during the job.
• Communication with customers, managers and peers is essential in a good employee.
Honesty • No one is perfect and we all make mistakes.
• Perhaps an applicant is honest during the interview process about being fired from a job before, but is able to explain what was learned from past mistakes.
• An honest employee is a good employee and holds qualities you should be looking for in new hires.
