That’s why managing labor costs is important when it comes to optimizing these costs and make sure that you are running a tight ship. This is especially true for small business, where money is usually fairly tight and cutting costs is not only desirable, but often a priority.

And, of those employers, 35 percent said the challenge stemmed from having job requirements that were above entry-level and increasingly complex.

I got this question via Twitter a while ago and it’s stuck with me. It’s a tough question but one I’m asked a lot in my training sessions. Why does an employee have to fight for his/her good performance to be recognized but bad ones are over emphasized? I get it. An employee feels like their good work is never recognized. And to add insult to injury, they feel the mediocre or poor performance of others isn’t noticed at all.

Companies are made of people, and people don’t always get along.
