Today\u2019s world is seemingly rife with entrepreneurial minds looking for the fastest route to a million \u2013 competition is everywhere. Monetising your own services, hobbies and talents is so common. It\u2019s easy to forget the value other people can bring you. Fact \u2013 Healthy, educated and motivated people develop resources per their requirements i.e. only people can give value to anything by making it useful. Here\u2019s three reasons human resource is the ultimate resource:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Team, Product, Success \u2013 In that order:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Microsoft, Apple and Facebook have created success by cultivating a working environment with three key ingredients \u2013 qualified staff, resources and the freedom to create. Alongside genuine innovation, more companies would approach the phenomenal success created by \u2018the big three\u2019 if more directors built the \u2018right\u2019 teams to research and experiment, and afforded them the freedom to find the \u201cgolden angle\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In an unprecedented experiment, Microsoft Japan tested out a four day work week and the results were what you would expect. Employees were happier, meetings more efficient and productivity rose a staggering 40%. While you may not have the significant resources Microsoft does, the principle remains the same \u2013 we are all people and should be treated as such. Benefit packages, paid time off and open door policies are a myriad of ways your human resources department can boost creativity and productivity in your employees.[1]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Invest in them and they\u2019ll invest in you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brilliance\nattracts brilliance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You might find yourself asking \u2013 What if I invest in my employees and they leave? Consider the alternative \u2013 What if you don\u2019t and they stay? People coming and going is as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. It\u2019s a reality you\u2019ll continually have to accept, regardless of \u2018who\u2019 you are. The only thing worse than a valuable employee leaving is paying for an unproductive, uncreative and uninspired employee. It is your duty as an employer to create the best environment for your employees to flourish. Do that and your company will attract the brightest minds without much effort while happy customers sing praises of your excellent products and services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Diversify\nyour team, Diversify your portfolio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Conglomerates have proven time and time again that\ndiversified investments are a sure way of making money in what can be risky and\nunpredictable industries. Think Louis Vuitton, Mo\u00ebt and Hennessy (LVMH) who\u2019s\nreach spans massive fashion houses like Fenty, Bulgari and Dior to renowned\ndistilleries like Mo\u00ebt and Hennessy![2]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Organisations should openly embrace \u2018business\ndiversity\u2019 because people are creative! Encourage them to experiment, fail and\nlearn. If the result is that a company will produce multiple concepts and\nproducts isn\u2019t it worth it to find a team capable of doing just that from the\nvery beginning? [3]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you realise all you have to gain by recruiting and training the best, you\u2019re wondering \u2013 What now? <\/a>While we still maintain that the best environments attract the best employees, sometimes you need a head start.
