In a future post, I will be discussing the use of hiring assessments to screen potential hires. Not all assessments are equal and there are legal issues with the inexpensive ones. But they can be money well invested when it comes to selecting the right person to begin with.

Ah… the other side of the proverbial coin. I have never understood why this side exists as most small business owners know that their employees are their greatest asset and their profits are tied to how well they shepard their flock.

Keep in mind that this article was written for the small business owner and not big business. Here is the difference. It is the shareholders that take the risk. In a small business, that is the owner. However, in big business, the CEO has a lot less at stake as what they own is a drop in the bucket compare to all other shareholders.

On the other hand, many employers pay their staff as little as they can and expect unpaid overtimg/

Do these figures include the millions paid to execs in perks and allowances, not to mention tax avoidance schemes?
