Interesting points of view. We did put the word out to our one good employee, but unfortunately he's a college kid. I will definitely put the word out to our vendors. I really like the idea of a bonus to someone who recommends someone we hire.
I'd like to think (as would anyone) that we're a good company to work for. If someone needs time off, there's never an issue, we just ask that they give us a heads up if they can. We're out there sweatin' with them, definitely doing our share. We thank them at the end of the day. The only thing we haven't done thus far is offer benefits. We're hoping taking the business to that level will generate some decent help.
We're looking into insurance.
Someone had also suggested bonuses, but to be careful in how it's structured, any ideas in this?
Also, for those of you who don't plow in the winter, what do you do...just lay off employees?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Not only do we want good employees, but just as importantly we really want to be good employers. We've both been in crummy jobs where we're unappreciated and I want to be sure we're a good company to work for.
