Hello readers, I hope you are all good. I will be writing about the qualities you should look for when scouting for employees. Human resources is an important aspect of a business as you cannot operate a business without humans. Employing the wrong humans will be detrimental to your business. Here are qualitiess you should look in a person before hiring them:
1. Cultural fit
All companies have a culture, according to dictionary.cambridge.com, culture is the way of life, especiallty the general customs and beliefs of a particular group of people at a particular time. Thus, an employee's customs and beliefs should be in alignment with the company's customs and beliefs. Employees that fit well in your company culturally are happy when performing their tasks, so they perform well.
2. Integrity
Interview questions should be tailored in a way to know if an employee has integrity. Honesty is a good quality, if someone has integrity they would be honest. An employee that has integrity would not steal from your company. The employee will perform their tasks well whether or not someone is watching. They are reliable and accountable. They will also treat colleagues well.
3. Interpersonal skills
A person that you employ should have great interpersonal skills. When your employees have the skills, the office would be a condusive and productive place to work. There will mostly be no arguments. Everyone would work well with each other. They will be good team players which is one of the qualities that is needed to have a successful business.
4. Determination
People that are strong willed do well at work. This is because they do not give up when faced with hurdles. They are resilient. If they try to use one method to solve a challenge and its not working they try another method, thus achieving your business goals.
5. Long term plans
You should look at the previous commitments on the potential employee's cv. Like, do they have degrees or professional certificates that took long. Companies they worked for in the past, did they work with them for at least a year. All this achievements would be a strong indication that the person would stay with your company for long. Training an employee is a form of investment, thus, you want returns. You do not want to train employees that will leave the company within a short period which means you have to train someone else, thus, increasing your training costs as well as not getting the return you were expecting.
Make sure your business is halal. Everything should be done seeking the pleasure of Allah. Part of seeking the pleasure of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).
Halal means anything lawful Islamically.
Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). May Allah send peace and blessings to Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H). Thank you for reading this article. Like this page on facebook. Keep reading this blog regularly. Cheers!
