| Abstract/Contents: | Suggestions are offered toward obtaining quality employees. One is to offer wages that compete with construction crew wages and include benefits such as medical, vacation, sick leave, personal leave, overtime, etc. Newspaper ads are a way to draw applicants. Another option is to contact the unemployment office. Advertising at guidance offices of high schools and colleges is still another. Several other sources for labor are churches, FFA, vo-tech schools, garden clubs and retired individuals. However, the best source of labor is valuable employees who are already on your staff. Satisfying them so they want to return next season or continue as full-time rather than look for positions elsewhere. This goal is only accomplished when you go to bat for your employees. Inform your greens committee chairman of the budget expenses incurred by retraining employees every year--damage to expensive equipment, lost time due to training, expanded crews due to the inefficiency of untrained crew members, increased personal accidents, and subsequent increased insurance rates, etc. Show gratitude to your valued employees to let them know that you appreciate their efforts and dedication and they in turn will make your job that much easier. |
