Assess Strengths Before You Hire

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!

A Successful Child Care Business Has a Winning Team

Building a Successful Child Care Business, begins with you having a Winning Team. Along with having a winning team, it is vital that the team has inspirational leaders on site. Moreover, it is vital that you know how to pick and retain a winning team.

It took me about five years to truly discover how to build a winning team. In fact, when I first opened my Child Care Center in 2003, I hired all the wrong people, my turnover was high, and I did not know how to inspire my team.

Once I discovered that I needed to grow as a leader and I really needed to focus on what I looked for in employees, I began to build a winning team. In fact, once I discovered how to build a winning team, my team treated one another like family.

Are you happy with your team? Could you use some team building strategies? Do you have a great team and just want to gain some new insight on building a winning team? Is there unity amongst your staff? Is there a Family like culture in your center?

If you answered “NO”to any of the questions above, I want to invite you to join my new membership club, The Inspired Child Care Leader’s Club.

During the month of February, the Empowerment topic is: Building a Winning Team. Are you ready to build a winning Team? If so, you don’t want to miss all the empowerment. I will be sending out my next email to the club members and it includes an audio on how to build a winning team!
