Staff that don’t smile, hardly say hello and make customers feel like an inconvenience to them is possibly the worst thing a business can do for their reputation.

Recruiting the right people for the right job plays a key role in business success. The addition of a new employee can lift or carry a positive and productive working culture.

According to Roger, the most important thing management can lead by example with is delivering outstanding customer service. “Staff that don’t smile, hardly say hello and make customers feel like an inconvenience to them is possibly the worst thing a business can do for their reputation,” says Roger. “With online competition and industry noise now stronger than ever, it’s important to stand out from the rest and it doesn’t cost a thing to smile.”
 
For businesses to experience longevity,  employers need to begin with a solid foundation of loyal, responsible and friendly staff, who are all experiencing employee satisfaction. It’s for this reason that recruiting the right person for the right job is paramount. Roger gives these three simple tips to employers:
 
1. Consider the personality of an ideal person for the role. “Many companies don’t realise what to look for when recruiting, because they haven’t thought about the personality of the ideal candidate, and how their presence will affect the rest of the team,” says Roger. “Finding the right person for the right job shouldn’t just be about the perfect skill set and experiences.” www.theretailsolution.com.au
 
2. Consider what skills and attributes are needed for the position. “Have a think about what this role needs from an employee. For example, if you needed to hire someone front of house, you would need to find a person who could smile, maintain eye contact, initiate and hold conversations and speak clearly and professionally.
 
3. Create a job advertisement to find the person outlined in the first two points. Now that you know who you would like to attract, create an advertisement that will encourage your ideal candidate to apply,” says Roger. “Experience should never trump the right attitude, because experience can always be learned on the job, but it’s important to list the non-negotiable things crucial to the role – even those from the personality check list.”
 
One of Roger’s clients, Beechworth Bakery has one of the greatest retail success stories in Australia due to the business’s exceptional customer service that has seen them achieve phenomenal growth. “You can generally train anyone to make coffee, slice bread or dig a hole. But if their attitude’s not right, then they might only do their job when you’re there,” says Roger.
