Things That Millenials Are Really Looking For In An Employer And How To Check If You Have Them

sevstaffinginc2014 — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 10:00:51 +0000

The millennials are undeniably a force to reckon with when it comes to this generation’s workforce. They are schooled, young, trainable, and highly ambitious. Indeed, they are just perfect for any company who are looking for dynamic and hungry candidates who can be groomed to full potential.

The downside with millennials, though, is that they can be difficult to please most of the time. Because they have lived most of their lives in comfort and convenience, they are not really the type who are willing to endure hard times. When they feel like something does not suit them, they easily walk away.

So if you are a company wanting to attract this batch, what are you to do to be their company of choice? We share with you some tips which should be able to help you pull their attention towards you and have them stay for a good period of time.

They are on the look out for a company with a good “social” standing.
Millenials are highly impressionistic. They easily get swayed with good media reviews, trending discussions, and resounding popularity. They want to try whatever is being talked about, want to be associated with iconic personalities, and be part of companies that everyone is familiar of. Thus, company branding is highly important if you want to catch these fish in your nets. Make sure that you make noise in the social media, got flashy and interesting advertisements, and has a “cool” way of recruitment so you can tickle their interest.
An environment that allows them freedom to succeed in their own way.
Millenials love their independence. So you would have to create an environment where they are given enough room to experiment and find their own way to succeed. Gone are the robotic days when employees are told what to do and they obey. These days, the young blood just need to know what needs to be accomplished, and they will find their way in achieving it – in whatever way that suits them. This is actually great for companies who are trying to find efficient and innovative ways to achieve their goals outside of the current norm.
Management that sees them well and hears them out.
Millenials have a high sense of entitlement. They feel the need to be needed – all the time. That is why it is important that you give them a chance to be heard or to be seen in the organization. Once they feel their importance while with you, this will fuel them to achieve more things and feel more valued than they already are. So it is a must to give them their spotlight and allow them every opportunity to shine.
Intrinsic rewards that cannot be bought by money.
Millenials are mostly born from families who have enough resources to afford them of what they need. Unlike us, they no longer live with the scarcity mentality. So money and everything that it can afford is no longer the sole force that can drive them to work harder. What matters to them is being recognized and appreciated. A pat on the shoulder, a “congratulations” bulletin, a good ranking, or a promotion can go a long way for them to want to stay with you for the long run.
A challenging growth plan.
Millenials love to be challenged. But the challenges that they take are only those which are worth sweating and stressing. So whether you are interviewing a candidate or discussing career plans with an employee, it is best that you lay down with him his career path, the goals that he must achieve to get there, and the rewards that he can expect once he is there. Millenials are go-getters if you only get to ignite the fire that they have in them.

Five Reasons Why Employees Leave Their Companies

sevstaffinginc2014 — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 09:57:26 +0000

Today, where a greater fraction of the population are highly-educated, well-experienced, highly-trained, and significantly-flexible, the rate of unemployment has remarkably gotten low. Not only that, the rate of people who are under-employed has decreased as well, which only means that most people are already in job positions which really fit their qualifications.

How does this affect companies, then? Well, this only means that companies would have to take care of their employees because with their credentials, they can easily decide to get out and practice their mastery some other place, to the potential advantage of competitors. Though resignation of employees is something companies cannot totally eliminate, it is highly manageable to keep those key people who really matter.

Here in SEV Staffing Inc., we share with you some beneficial information which should be able to help you keep the golden eggs within your nest. We understand that you might already have read more than a dozen of tips on how to keep them. This time, we discuss with you possible reasons on why they usually pack up and leave you for good.

Unmet expectations in terms of role and responsibilities.
In your job advertisements and interviews, you have surely discussed with an applicant his role and his responsibilities once he is hired. This usually determines his yes or no during the job offer. Now, some employees resign when the expectations they have set initially are not met when they are already in their posts. They may find the actual job very challenging or too easy for them that they feel overqualified. Thus, it is highly important to set the real deal from the very start so you don’t get to hire, lose, and rehire employees due to unmanaged expectations.
Unhealthy work hygiene and stress.
The long working hours, the toxic environment, the difficult goals, and the tight deadlines often drain the spirit out of employees. Whether we are talking about tenured or neophytes, no one is really immune or can get too immune to these kinds of stuff. So try to understand how they really feel about their work and its demands. If you get that they feel like being stretched too thin, try to find the right balance in terms of workload, objective-setting, and expectations. You will see that when they feel like they are not expected to be super-humans at work, they will be human enough to not leave you while you still need them.
Unclear career path and growth direction.
People need not only security of tenure. They also want themselves to grow. People resign when they feel like their careers have plateaued and have no clear direction to grow. It is the responsibility of the management to plan, discuss, and make clear with their people the plans they have for them so they can have something that they can look forward to in the future.
Having difficult people to deal with.
Whether is a co-worker, a subordinate, or a boss, dealing with difficult people is one of the most popular culprits on why employees resign. So if you are the boss, try to check if you are being too hard on your team. To know about how they feel about each other, it is best to conduct one-on-one interviews through the HR so you will know if there is any conflict or attitude issues that you need to deal with inside your premises.
Discovering better opportunities outside.
Everyone looks forward to something better. So if an employee gets offered with a better and higher paying job, they usually ship out the soonest time they can. This is where career growth discussion can also be very helpful. If they know that they will be better off if they stay, they will have no reason to look for greener pastures, in the fist place.

5 Things to Remember on Being a Successful Employee

sevstaffinginc2014 — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 05:27:01 +0000

Being a successful employee, of course, takes a lot of work and commitment. Some days may be for you, while the other days just seem to look like it is raining cats and dogs; but hey, as long as you are doing what you love, then our discussion today should be easy for you. We will revolve in areas such as attitude, professionalism, and teamwork—a surefire recipe for being a successful employee.

SEV Staffing, Inc., a committed source of recruitment solutions in Garth Road Baytown TX, believes that our team of recruitment specialists has provided companies with employees that have become prominently successful in each of their own fields of interest. Today, we will share to you the things to remember on being a successful employee.

Do your best
When you get a job, it would be best to work hard on that job. It would be best to get a job that you love, since doing what you love is not work but it becomes play. Nevertheless, when you are given tasks that you need to work on especially those with a given deadline, you have to do your best and work hard. As much as possible, avoid personal calls, texts, or emails when at work. You are paid to do your job, so make the most of your time.
Practice professionalism
This would work best especially with conflicts and problems around. Professionalism is when you deal with your job seriously and focused on what you do in all situations. There is always a time and place for “taking it easy” and fooling around, but when it comes to rules a professional does the right thing in a very composed and courteous manner.
A professional is tactful and friendly without being too good to be true. When you are given constructive criticisms professionally, then it would be easier for you to manage the stress and pressure that it could place on you. Some bosses may be nit-pickers but try to work your way out of it. Balance is still the key to everything.
Present positivity and enthusiasm
Being too much cheerful can often go down the taken-for-granted alley because you might not be taken seriously. But the positive and enthusiastic attitude towards the company’s goals is vital. Debbie Downers drags everyone around them down so avoid it as much as you can.
If you have a bad start at home, you should avoid bringing the gloomy attitude at work. Be the better person at work especially that your co-workers may have also started a bad day. Stay positive at all times when it comes to struggles and trials at work.
Take initiative
Employers are often frustrated with their employees because some of their employees are so “by the book”. To be a successful employee means taking initiative when you think you can do it. Do not step on other people’s light but if you can foresee a future problem, take initiative in preventing it to happen.
This is all about pushing your limits at work. People with initiative always consider better ways to do their job or better ways for their departments to work efficiently. Make polite suggestions and avoid confusing taking initiative to being a know-it-all.
Know your boss
Your boss aims the betterment of the company. But bosses come out differently with the way they act, think, and manage the company. The earlier you understand your boss, the easier your work becomes being able to anticipate his/her expectations and demands.

Understanding them may take time but it is better than not trying to know him/her at all. Also, you should learn how the organizations work, its mission, vision, and goals, strategies and of course, its products and services. Deeper knowledge of your workplace makes you understand your actual role in it.

What We Look for in a Customer Service Representative

Louise Savoie — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 06:26:06 +0000

Customer service is one that we specialize here in SEV Staffing, Inc. and as a part of our Recruitment Solutions in College Street Beaumont TX; we help companies around the state to find the most suitable customer service representative they need.

A customer service representative is the frontline of a company’s trade that is why it just makes sense for our company to look for people who are good in that line of work especially those who:

Show empathy, patience and consistency
Not all customers are the same. Some of them will make your day while others can make you lose a few brain cells. Either way, it is still your job to face these clients in behalf of the company.
You must be fully equipped and knowledgeable on how to handle different kinds of customers and see to it that the quality of services you provide is consistent every time you face a patron.
Can handle surprises
As we have mentioned, no customer is alike and as a customer service representative, you will have varied experiences every day of the week of work. You need to be adaptable and this, friend, includes your willingness to learn.
Giving a quality customer service consists of an endless learning process, you know.
Have the ability to convey the information properly to the customers
We do not want an angry customer much more one that leaves your presence feeling confused and unsure of your company’s products and services, do we? A customer service representative is able to put into words exactly the things he or she wants to put across the client.
Manifest the proper work ethic
Clients like it when their questions are entertained and when they are able to get the information they need. But if you are able to satisfy one client and annoy the crap out of those in line, you cannot be called an effective representative of the company you are working for.
Possess the essential knowledge
The patrons you are facing right now rely on you because at this given point, it is you who is knowledgeable of the product and/or services your company offers. You need to stay informed and up to date especially when your customers have some questions on their mind.
Own a bunch of “confidence”
Being a customer service representative means that you are aware of the saying “the customer is always right.” You need to be able to swallow your pride, accept negative feedbacks and hold responsibilities. This is still applicable even if you are assigned on a team that is working directly on the feedbacks of the company’s customers via social media.

If you possess the mentioned characteristics, then you are who we are looking for. Submit your resume at www.sevstaffing.com and we will work on your employment.

5 Reasons Why We Need Women in the Workplace

Louise Savoie — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 06:10:30 +0000

It has been a long battle for our women to earn their right to suffrage and even more lengthy and hard for them to earn the society’s respect to work in the office and the workplace.

But now, time has changed.

We can see women leading a company instead of being stuck at home. There are women in the military and even the police. It is such a good time to be living here in this contemporary time.

SEV Staffing, Inc, provider of Recruitment Solutions in Garth Road Baytown TX, seeks the need to encourage employers to employ more women in their respective companies for the following reasons:

It creates more diversity at work
If women are given the same opportunities as men in the agency, there will be a variety of energies that can complement each other. In a culture that is only dominated by men, it is probable for the place of work to lose the skills women are good at. Examples of these skills are:
- Multitasking
- Customer-centricity
- Teamwork
- And many more
Of course, men can also possess these skills but let us face it: women are more programmed for these types of characteristics and abilities.
Women know women best.
Let us say your business is geared towards selling products and services for women. Having an all-male group that will work on your company’s objectives cannot completely market all of your consumer’s needs.
There is a necessity for you to know what women consumers want and the ideal way to find it out is to let women produce, conceptualize, design and even strategize the methods on how to sell these services and products.
They promote gender balance.
In order for gender balance to prevail in the society, we need to have more women in the offices. If one employer does not follow or even understand this concept, there will be no one who will give importance on the issue and women may be looked down upon in the society.
Women in the workforce increase their purchasing power.
In a particular business, we are given the knowhow of how economics works and in this field of study; we come to know the concept called purchasing power. Women, who get to work, get to earn money; and if they earn money, they will be able to provide for themselves and their family.
They make up 50% of the country’s population.
In the United States of America, men and women both comprise 50% of the population. So who are we to just decide that the workplace is for men only? We need to promote an equal representation in the workplace.

Do you now realize the importance of women in the workplace?

Full Time Job or Part time Job: Which is Really Better?

Louise Savoie — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 01:47:08 +0000

If you have to choose between a full time job or a part time job, what would you prefer? If you prioritize security of tenure, good pay and all the benefits that you would enjoy in the later years of your life, for sure, you would choose full time job. However, if you are still in search of your career path, you still would want to explore things and enjoy a lot of free time or juggle multiple jobs in a day, a part time job would be so appealing.

But employers do not readily settle to hire full time workers. Some would hire contractual workers and only when they are impressed with their performance would they consider them for full time employment. This is a long and tedious process both for the employers and employees. But, let us try to weigh in whether full time or part time employment is more advantageous than the other.

Which gives you bigger probability of finding new opportunities?
Most people may not get the chance to land a full time employment right away. If you have the opportunity to work part time in any office jobs or company positions, it is good that you take it. It somewhat puts you in a good place in the corporate world. Although the pay may not be big at first but eventually if you have proven your worth and the employer sees you as an asset to the company, then there is a big possibility that they would hire you as a permanent full time employee. It also paves your way to learning things outside your comfort zone as you will be exposed to different tasks in your part time job.

Which type of employment can give you better income?
For some a full time job might get them the money but some part time workers can earn bigger than them. However, income really depends on how one works hard for it. If your full time employment pays you right, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, for part time workers, a good income might mean doing two things at the same time and extending more hours of work in a week just to reach a certain quota. But generally, it works both ways.

Which type of employment is less stressful?
A number of research and studies have shown how full time employment could wear out workers. Perhaps this is because being in an office six to eight hours a day can really be stressful especially if one will not be able to do other activities anymore except working. Many people have preferred part time jobs because they have flexible schedules and they can still do some errands or relax a little. Sometimes, it is better to live a happy and less stressful life than earning big amounts but stressed out.

But the bottom-line of this is that, find a job you like and do your best. It does not matter whether you are working part time or full time as long as you love what you are doing. However, do not stop improving yourself, if a new environment is what you need, then you should explore your opportunities.

3 Common Issues Staffing Agencies Face Today

Louise Savoie — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 01:34:47 +0000

Employment today is no walk in the park. A good educational attainment may not be an assurance that you will land on your dream job. Well, maybe not right away. But the present reality of job hiring seems to tell us that you need to find the right outlet and the right job opening to give you bigger chances of getting the position.

Consequently, for staffing agencies like SEV Staffing Inc., a recruitment solutions in College Street Beaumont TX, we also deal with a handful of issues when it comes to choosing the best applicants for our clients. It takes a lot of effort and deliberation before we can deploy employees to our clients.

Let us take a look of the three common issues that staffing agencies frequently encounter:

The search for the perfect applicant
With a pool of applicants, it is difficult for most staffing agencies to know who to hire. We always have to put in mind that our clients want efficient, talented and hardworking individuals who can meet up to the demands of the job. This could be hard considering the multitude of potential employees we have to scrutinize daily. Hence, social media and advertising is very helpful to us since we have a farther reach of possible applicants from different parts of the country.
The need for efficient recruiters
Many staffing agencies hire a number of recruiters who can help getting the task done. However, recruiters have to be well-trained and if possible they should have a background on their job so they can handle the task effortlessly. Thus, it is important that we train our recruiters to do the task fast and be decisive when it comes to choosing the right applicant.
The influx of competing staffing agencies
When the demand is great, the supply will try to compensate for it. Since there has been a great demand of staffing agencies, different recruiters have also sprouted like mushrooms here and there. Because of the number of recruitment agencies, it has become difficult for people to distinguish the reliable and efficient one. Sometimes, with the influx of ineffective and fraudulent companies, the reputable staffing agencies can be at stake.

These are the typical problems that we face everyday at SEV Staffing Inc. and probably in other staffing agencies too. But with the right tool and the right people, we have managed to deliver quality employees and efficient service.
