Hiring the right staff is one of the most important decisions you will make for your childcare business. In fact, bringing on someone who is not the right fit can hurt your operations and negatively affect overall morale.
On the other hand, when you hire someone who is truly the right fit, the difference is clear. You can see their strengths, confidence, and positive impact on your team.
Before hiring your next staff member, ask yourself an important question: Do you assess the strengths of your new hires?
In my experience, I have sometimes relied on what applicants said during interviews, only to find that their classroom performance did not match what they described.
Recently, I found a site that allows current employees and new hires to take a strengths assessment, and it has been very helpful for our team. When the right people are in the right roles and working in their areas of strength, it can be a major win for your childcare business.
Be sure to check out, Free Strengths Test | Find Your Character Traits & Personality Types and start assessing strengths before you hire. It will cost your or the staff member nothing.
With Your Dream Team in mind!
