QFO: “What should you do if your employees are complaining about wages?”

QFO: “What should you do if your employees complain about their wages? If your business cannot afford to raise their wages, does this mean a pay freeze or redundancies to create room for wage increases?”

A: If the business or the employees aren’t growing then extra value has to be created (by both) in the forms of additional value for the customer or increased marketable skills for the employee. If this isn’t yours, then you know what you need to do.

The latter question is zero-sum thinking and a formula for losers.”

“Jeffrey is a no non-sense guy that really wants his client’s business to succeed. His words “you can’t work in the business, you must work on the business” are in my head daily when I start to lose focus. I am a better business woman, event producer and employer because of his efforts.”
