If you contract a job and the homeowner gives you no plans, no explanation of what the job will be when you get there, in a week, or what additions they may want to make in a year, and they will just tell you when they get there, and wait until every day when you get there to tell them.

This would impact efficent operations and hiring and maintaing employees in a stable work force is no different.

Employees need :

Clear job descripitions and expectations.

Clear financial and wage structure definition with in the job descripitions and skill set achievement outlines.

Clear upward job path progression upon skill set addition's and skill level achievement and mastery. (Learn to earn)

Clear and spelled out job infractions, the penalities for such infraction, and the nesscesity of these outlines and how the company will handle them.

If you have these written outlines, and manage by them, and you have the workers agree to them as a condition of employment, you will be able to train a better worker, with a better attitude, that will produce more, and that you can pay more, and achieve more production from.

Structure yields efficency.

Hire attitude and teach skill.
