I just started a new business centre and the patronage is just increasing ,I employed a girl who I am paying N15,000 monthly. But most of the time

when there are no customer ,she is idle. How do I engage her more and also How do we increase traffic to the business centre to make it more busy.

I need advise from you guys.

@OP,

Kudos on taking giant strides to startup a business of your own.

I understand it's usually not fun to watch your staff "idle" but you must realize that your staff is human too.

The time in between when there's no much traffic coming in to your business center, ALLOW HER REST it's when there's work to do and she's idle that you should worry about and believe it or not if you start meddling with the free time she gets, she'll soon start plotting her departure (maybe at your expense).

Understand that you didn't buy a human being for N15,000; you employed a staff to GET THINGS DONE!

Outline the things she needs to do on a daily basis and when she's done let her be.

I also encourage you to motivate your staff to read books (you should be reading books yourself too) and use that free time to develop herself. She'll always appreciate you for this.

Look here; N15,000 is a fare pay especially since you're just starting out but regardless of how much you pay don't think you're buying your staff and always encourage them to invest that time in themselves.

You'll get amazing and loyal staff that way.

Success in your business.

The poster above, you are simply awesome!

It is your own main responsibility to make traffic flow towards your business and not on the peasant sales girl cos hers is to attend to customer that cares to show face and sell in the most professional and courteous methods. Her idleness should just be a challenge on you. Do more of strategic advertisements, expand your business and make goods to be competitively attractive and see traffic flow to your business.
Best regards!

THANKS all
