Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1983-08-10, Page 8PAGE 8 -CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1983 laflost farmers need some hired help at one time or another. Some farmers say they have trouble finding or keeping good help. Everybody has a theory as to why there are problems. An agribusiness recruiting service from Iowa offers some observations on the "Top Ten Reasons For Labor Problems". The reasons aren't in any par- ticular order other than the first reason. 1) Lack of Communica- tion: It's estimated that 95 per cent of the'probleans are due to failure to com- municate. It's suggested that employers and employees should talk on a regular basis. Outline what's to be done and how it should be done. Where will everyone be if they're need- ed? Many things that may be second nature to you may need time and explanation to a new person. A few minutes of talking two or three times a day can help to avoid problems. 2) Too Many Bosses: This often occurs in family opera- tions. Brothers or a father and a son may be giving employees simultaneous and conflicting directions. 3) No Defined Respon- sibility: With no specific tasks the employee often lacks any sense of ac- complishment. It's a good i idea to put the employee in charge of two or three tasks. Give them definite morning responsibilities to let them get started on their own. Let them finish some jobs from beginning to end to allow them the enjoyment of a job well done. 4) Not Growing - Not Lear- ning New Skills: The employee enjoys this part of the business as much as you. Encourage them to take courses or attend meetings periodically. You'll both be better for it. 5) Time Off Not Defined: If you just say "Ask for time off when you need it", the employee will feel like a ser- vant. Try to arrange regular hours, time off and how over- time will be handled. 6) Inadequate Wages For Their Skills: Sometimes nothing can be done. It's a good idea to check with com- parable businesses in your area to see how you com- pare. 7) Broken Promises: Sometimes a farmer may of- fer an incentive or bonus plan. When the payoff is due the employee either misunderstands or the farmer changes his mind. Put all promises in writing when you hire. 8) Lack Of Recognition: Compliments can pay big dividends. If the employee has some special ac - r re Li complishments, leave him a note praising his work. The Iowa researcher said, "They'll keep the note forever and show it to their family and friends." It's a simple gesture that can mean a lot. 9) Problems With The Employee's Spouse: A mar- riP() employee depends on ns `.Al-` t family support and rein- forcement just the same as you do. It's a good idea to meet with the spouse whenever possible. 10) Poor Work Environ- ment: Unheated shops or buildings, poor tools, lack of safety equipment are fre- quently mentioned by unhap- py employees.

Surprisingly, the Iowa study showed employees worry more about little things. Big things such as low pay and hard work were seemingly less important. r rural women of several workshops: identi- fying leisure needs; eating well - being well; women and the law; planning and time management skills; developing leadership abili- ty; community develop- ment; financial manage- ment for women; and reliev- ing stress. - Jane Muegge, Rural Organizations and Services ( Home Economist Getting rid of calories Did you know...
