Dealing with Employees - Money and hard work


Expert: Ellyn Traub - 8/2/2006

Question
How connnected is how hard a person works V.S. how much money they make? It seems that many business professionals will say that one should "work smart" rather than work hard. But for those that are at the bottom that only work there must be some connection between their sweat and tears and how much they bring home to their families?

Answer
James.
Now to respond to your question! It is rather vague, and I don't know what industry you are in, so I hope that I am helping you out.

Working smart is making the most of your time and effort.
Streamline the activities that you do so you are getting more out of the same effort. Find out from your manager or supervisor what is required to earn more. Utilize technology to your advantage. Put systems and processes in place so that your are not repeating tasks and repeating errors.

Without more information, it is difficult to fully answer your question.

Ellyn
