In the home inspection industry, it should be every business owner’s goal to expand their team. New employees can expand marketing efforts, allow for more property inspections to be completed in a shorter amount of time, and improve on client satisfaction due to increased efficiency. Both in the case of adding a very first employee and when adding to an already large team, owners cannot overlook their training processes.
To build your home inspection team the right way, let’s discuss the importance of training, and review a few tips on how to help transition your new employee into an invaluable contributor to your team.
Highlighting the Importance of Training
All business owners understand to a certain extent the value of a solid training process. New employees are an investment, and the quicker that these team members can get up to speed with the rest of the business the better. Business owners are incentivized to make their training processes as quick and efficient as possible in order to get their new partners contributing. Though these goals are understandable, business owners who are only focused on the speed of their training schedules are missing out on plenty of opportunities to strengthen their business.
Human resources experts over at Hppy point out the importance of the early onboarding period of employment by saying, “…20% of employee turnovers happen [within] the first 45 days.” With smart training techniques, employers can actually reinforce their new employees’ choices to join their team and work towards improving the longevity of their partnership. Additionally, establishing a strong foundation during training is crucial for building a confident and competent employee.
