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.

2 Brilliant Tips for Getting the Employees You Want!

Filed under Recruitment
You Can Save Time, Energy and Money.
Business owners and CEO’s have three extremely valuable BUT LIMITED assets and that’s time, energy and money. The strange thing is that again and again I hear of business owners and senior managers spending their valuable time and energy trying to train their staff to do the right things at the right time to get the right result. Then as the months go by and nothing really changes they realize they are wasting their resources because they have not asked themselves two crucial question and they are:
- How do I know if the employees I am training want to learn and improve?
– How do I know if the employees I am training want to use this knowledge to improve my business or my department?
This is a waste of resources and damages their health that’s guaranteed, there is enough research now to prove that anxiety, stress or anger not only prematurely age you, but they also shorten your life span.
So how do you know if an employee actually wants to learn and improve and how do you know if they actually want to use this knowledge to achieve your business goals?
Answer and tip one: Ensure you check the commitment of an employee during the selection phase by getting them to fill in a rigorous selection criteria.
The Benefit of a Selection Criteria Form is:
A. You will immediately find out whether the applicant is really committed to your position if they can be bothered to fill in the selection criteria and send it back to you. Seven out of ten applicants will not return the selection criteria and this is great because these people are not driven, motivated and committed enough to fill in the form and these people are not the people you want in your business.
B. The selection criteria can collect a lot of objective relevant information about a candidate. This information is directly related to what you need to find out about this person
C. The selection criteria force the applicant to ask themselves. “Do I really want to do this role?”
D. The selection criteria give you great insight about the candidate’s ability to read instructions, understand them, reflect on the content and then comply with your directions. Candidates who fill in the selection criteria are far more likely to achieve results for you than those who can’t find time to fill in the form.
Test Them!
Now how do you know if the employees you are training want to use this knowledge to improve your business or your department?
Answer and tip two: There are some simple but brilliant psychometric tests on the market that clearly show if the candidate you are reviewing or even if an existing employee is truly interested in self improvement. Chet Holmes one of America’s leading sales and marketing guru says:
“You’d be crazy not to use these personality assessment services today,
they are scary accurate and can save you tens of thousands in hiring and management.”
Why waste time, energy and money?
You can now easily find out:
· If the employees YOU are training want to learn and improve?….And
· If the employees YOU are training want to use this knowledge to improve your business?
