Are Your Staff Slowly Killing You?

And three emotions you need to avoid if you want to survive.

How do you rate your health?

If you rate your health as very good give yourself a five out of five. If you rate your health as very poor give yourself a one out of five.

Why this is important

It’s important because research indicates the lower you rate your own health, the earlier you will die even if you currently have no disease or risk factors. This self rating system has been research and validated by studying over 44,000 identical twins.

So how does rating ourselves impact our health? It has been discovered that how we feel about our situation in life has a big impact on us physically. Therefore if we feel bad about a certain situation for example lame and lazy staff who are unproductive and drain your energy, then your thinking will trigger an emotional reaction that may well be prematurely aging you and even slowly killing you.

“Thoughts and emotions are interwoven: every thought, however bland, almost always carries with it some emotional undertone, however subtle”

Restak

How quickly thoughts can kill you.

In 1964 a newspaper headline read “Man Freezes to Death in Refrigeration Car”. The man had become trapped inside when the door accidentally slammed on him. When he was found the next day he had all the physical symptoms of having been frozen to death. Yet the refrigeration unit was switched off and at no time had the temperature been at or even close to freezing. The man had in one night talked himself into dying. Your thoughts have a dramatic impact on your body.

“Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The emotional black spots.

There are four emotions that have the potential to send a flood of toxic chemicals through your brain that not only increase the risk of memory loss but also prematurely age you and reduce your life expectancy. These emotional black spots are depression, anxiety, anger and low self esteem. Since 1929 the life span of Oscar winners have been measured against other actors and the findings suggest that winning an Oscar increases your life expectancy by 3.9 years because it elevates the recipient’s self esteem and reduces the prevalence and the impact of the four emotional black spots.

How business owners can protect their brain

Today no business owner should have to put up with prolonged worrying staffing situations that make them prone to bouts of depression, anxiety, anger and low self esteem. There are now brilliant psychometric tests and selection processes that can eliminate the risk of ever hiring a stressful staff member and it makes more than complete sense to use them. The focus of the Profitable Personnel recruitment process is to assist business owners to find staff that will not only build their business, but will do so in a stress free manner that enhances the business owners quality of life both financially and emotionally.

Who Wants To Know 9 Ways to Reward Good Work That Are More Effective Than Giving Money?

And two crucial secrets to making your team work.

Research suggests that non cash rewards are more effective and less expense than cash rewards. An example of non cash reward is time off and having the choice of working on projects they like. I recently visited a company in Melbourne whose staff set the production goals and all the staff wanted as their reward was to go home when the work was done. Believe it or not the staff set the production targets 25% higher than the management team had ever expected.

This small business is now thriving and has now become a thriving national business, EVEN IN A “RECESSION”. And here’s an interesting point, they don’t hire well trained professionals because professionals have “attitude” and believe everyone should be as knowledgeable as they are, and therefore they tend to talk down to people.

So here are two of their crucial business secrets:

Secret One: They hire based on behaviours not qualifications.
Secret Two: All the systems in the business were so well defined that anyone could come into their business and become productive after 5 days, as long as they had the right behaviours.

Would you like a 25% increase in your team’s profitability?

If you want to change employee behaviour research reveals that the reward will need to be between 5 to 8 percent of an employee’s salary…IF YOU USE CASH. The facts are the best rewards are not cash and they are far more effective. Non cash rewards that are effective are often only half the value of cash rewards, but believe it or not they are far more effective!

Here are nine cheaper and far more effective ways to reward staff that than money.

1. Recognition
2. Time Off
3. A piece of the action
4. Favourite work
5. Advancement
6. Freedom
7. Personal growth
8. Fun
9. Prizes.

Secret Three: The funny thing is staff are often far more satisfied when obtaining non cash rewards and the research suggests staff satisfaction drives your businesses profits sky high.

A recent survey conducted by the Gallup organisation looked at employee attitudes and the impact on business outcomes. They found that businesses where employees had high job satisfaction also had:
