The greatest investment you will ever make in your business is hiring because your employees will make or break your organisation. Making a bad hire is something you should avoid doing because it’s expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating. But more importantly, it’s a mistake that will negatively affect your business.
Hiring the right people can benefit your business in more ways than one. Here are three main advantages your organisation will gain when you hire the right candidate:
1. Saving time and money
Recruitment is not just about going through a stack of resumes and picking the one candidate that looks promising. There is so much more that goes into this process. It costs a lot and takes a lot of time and effort.
As a business, it’s more cost-effective to avoid trial and error in hiring because you can use the time and money for more important things, like growing your business.
2. Creating a great company culture
A company’s culture is built upon the values, beliefs, and traditions of the people involved in your company. If there isn’t already a good company culture, the right people will build one. And when your employees get along, they work better together and are more likely to stay and continue making the company a great place to work.
When employees love the company’s culture, they are more likely to recommend your company to people they know. This can significantly decrease your costs.
3. Contributing to business success
When people get along with each other and work well together, they are more productive and more motivated to contribute extra effort at work. That means you can reach your business goals faster because your team is more engaged and invested in the company, and they will want to see it succeed too.
So how do you ensure that you’re hiring the right people?
DISC Behavioural Profiling
The DISC method describes how people behave based on the idea that everyone exhibits four common behaviour styles. Each of these behaviours can, however, be displayed to different degrees.
By using the DISC framework as a hiring tool, you can better understand a candidate’s fit for the job and observe how they perform on the job. Desired behavioural changes can be identified, and appropriate training can be provided depending on the results. A DISC profile can become the foundation for developing interview questions to determine a candidate’s fit for a specific job.
You can also use this framework to understand how your current employees work to help you avoid misunderstandings, disagreements, and frustrations when working together.
At Aston Advantage, we use the DISC framework to create a personalised profile of various levels of traits in an employee. With each profile, gain a deeper understanding of individuals, teams, and leadership groups.
And if you need assistance, we have programs to help you understand more about DISC Behavioural Profiling so you can hire the right people. These programs include:
