Thank you, Shan of Colored Girls Rock!!! for this thought-provoking piece. Yes, as much as we're all really moeg, it's good to use this time as business leaders to do some sel-introspection! Let’s talk about hiring and retaining great staff Small businesses are the backbone of South Africa’s economy, but we know it’s not easy to hire and keep good staff. Tight budgets, increased costs, limited time, and regulatory red tape make it even harder. Here are some ideas to make it work: ✅ Simplify compliance: Use simple contracts and tools to save time on admin and payroll. ✅ Show appreciation: A “thank you” or celebrating small wins can go a long way. ✅ Offer non-monetary value: Flexible hours, extra leave, mentorship, or training can make staff feel valued. ✅ Create mutual growth: Align goals by tying incentives to performance and involving staff in key decisions. We’re working on exciting plans for next year to help small businesses create more jobs. But for now, tell us: What’s your biggest challenge with hiring or keeping great staff? Let’s find solutions together. #SmallBusiness #EmploymentSupport #GrowTogether
