Success in building any business depends on many factors, but none are more important than finding and keeping the right employees. A workforce that fits culturally with the company; one that is dedicated to the company’s mission; and one that is willing to follow leadership through “thick and thin” to reach the company’s goals can literally foster the success of the business.

There are a number of technologies available today that can aid or assist the business in attracting, hiring and maintaining that needed superior workforce. You can start with the need to attract the right people to your business. Websites like Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com give even small companies the opportunity to market their job openings throughout the world. Another aspect of hiring is to share the company story with the potential labor pool of prospects. Here technologies such as social media, think Facebook.com, make it easy to reach a large audience at very little costs. Good prospective employees are drawn to companies that look like they are a good place to work. Your website is another bit of technology where you company story needs to be told and updated to make your business attractive to these same prospects.

When it comes to hiring technologies exist that can greatly improve your hiring process. You can find websites that offer advice on how to build a great hiring process. There are human resource companies, such as AlegreHr.com, that can offer guidance and advice at a fraction of the cost of many local sources. All types of pre-hire testing are available on the internet from personality profiles, such as those offered at Birkman.com, or job-related testing that can be found on industry organization’s websites. Skills test can also be administered and graded through a computer. Effective use of these and other technologies raise the odds that you will make the right hire.

Employee retention and motivation are the real end-game of the hiring process. A company that invests in and maintains a quality communication and operating system goes a long way toward motivating its workforce. If every employee has the tools they need to excel at his or her job, then with proper supervision, they should all feel motivated to do their best work. Of course, there are other factors in creating a work environment that motivates the worker, such as condition of the actual work place; but having communication and operating technology that works well can make up for other lapses in the overall work environment.

Everyday there are new technologies, both equipment and software, that come to market that can enhance the businesses’ opportunity to hire and maintain a top-notch workforce. Successful owners and managers stay abreast of these technologies. When the time is right, they make sure that the company adopts and puts these technologies to work. Business success is made up of many factors but none as important as a quality, motivated workforce.
