You know how staff wahala dey be

As a vendor ehn, business in Naija is not easy at all
If it’s not supplier wahala, it’s delivery wahala
But the one wen pain pass na staff wahala!

Imagine hiring someone to make business easier but they na still added to your stress!
It’s enough to make anybody cry!

But every problem has a solution and I have tips!

First things first ehn, have a contract.
The way it will save you stress!

Let them see what they’re getting into:
work hours, salary, duties, time off, public holiday etc

Don’t say I’m a small business so I can’t give this.
You’re dealing with a human being.

Set rules from the start.
How many sick leaves will you offer?
Will it be counted with their normal days off?

Second, treat your staff with respect from the beginning.
Omo people you’re mean to won’t stress their self on top your matter!

Also build a relationship with them.
Don’t allow overfamiliarity oh!

People will cross the line if you’re overfamiliar.
So call it out immediately it happens the first time!

Appreciate them & praise good results.
Offer benefit for very good performance that boost business sales.

“But 001 some people will still frustrate you”

I agree so here’s how to handle that one:

First, hear them out & don’t jump to conclusions
It’s hard, especially when you think 2 and 2 are adding up!

Speak to them first. Ask what’s wrong.
Check up and make sure to follow every issue.

Then make sure you have consequences for bad conduct!
See ehn, people will always misbehave!

It’s better to have how to handle it when it happens
so choose what will make you to fire somebody,
what will make you to deduct payment etc.

If you’re ready, you can handle almost anything.
No kill yourself, you no deserve stress pass wetin you plan.

If the matter pass inside staff to external problem, you know what to do!
Direct it to PBD and let us handle it for you!

In all you do, protect your business and it’s reputation!
Plus a happy staff will take care of your business!

Don’t overstress.
