Your Employees Are Not Vending Machines
You thought you just had to put money in and value would come out? Cute.

You thought you just had to put money in and value would come out? Cute.
Everyone talks about the cost of hiring. Few talk about the real investment. The one that drains you, not your bank account.
It's your time spent explaining things thrice. Your emotional energy burned giving feedback. The trial and error of finding what motivates each person. The patience needed when someone almost gets it, but not quite.
Skip this investment, and you'll end up with expensive paperweights wearing employee badges.
The irony? You can't calculate ROI until you've already invested. And by then, you're too deep in to question the math.
