2013

Hi Everyone!

Apologies for being so quiet, but as you know it was Christmas and New Year enjoyed with family and friends.  The Shop Trader Team believes in hard work and commitment, but we are also very pro-family, which also means that we took some time off ourselves to spend with family.

It is always good to keep in mind that it is the support we receive at home that keeps us afloat.
So, our approach this year is a bit different.  We want to break away from the norm of life, we want to go back to family time and values.

They are whom we work for, we work to keep our families safe, to create opportunities, to feed and cloth, to take on holiday and spend time with.  This year, 2013, the focus is going to be family.

They are our muse, our inspiration and we want to shift the focus back to family.  When you get home from work, leave your work until the next morning at the office, don't answer the phone during family time, if it is business related.  I know that it is not conventional and that business might suffer due to this, but believe me, it is worth it.  The same attitude will have a ripple effect in the office?

Why? 

Mmm...that is a very good question.  The moment our perspective changes, the input will also change which will then effect the output.  Still not getting what I am saying?

Well, let me put it this way..
The moment that family  become your priority, you will automatically implement it at the office....and as we all know...once you start valuing your staff/employees, they start valuing the company and that brings in revenue.

The only difference is that this way you will mean it and nothing about it will be fake.  We live ian a fast pase era and anyone will gladly accept some kindness and appreciation.

Most companies don't pay a lot of attention to HR and this is where we loose our clients because the staff won't go that extra mile or push for that sale.  Why should they?  There is no incentive, no motivation etc..

Think about it and comment.


Happy holidays and 2013.
