You have chosen people that are a great fit for your company. Now is time to take them to the next level by investing in them with training and professional growth. This commitment will give your employees opportunities to develop their job skills and compound on the company culture you are working so hard to build. Here is my list of ideas to invest in employees that can help increase the overall value of your business.

Unless you’re a solopreneur, you have team members who are vital to your business. And quite honestly, you probably can’t run a successful business without your team. Yet, every person has a unique personality, bringing a different set of positive and negative issues to your business. So how do you get individual employees that work together like a well-oiled machine? Find out the aspects great employee teams have in common.

I believe that the most effective measure of leadership is the performance of the team in the small business owner’s absence. If you as a business owner can leave for a period of time, and the company continues forward in an accelerated trajectory, then your leadership is effective. Yet, how do you create competent leaders within your organization? You must train employees to become leaders. And these people are vital when you’re trying to build a transferable and sustainable business that’s valuable to future buyers.
