"Good help is hard to find"...an age-old lament shared by employers the world over. Ironically, the model employee that you're looking for may already be working for you; all that's missing is the necessary training. Of course, proper training costs money, which prompts many business owners and managers to ask the question, "Can I afford to train this person?" when they should be asking themselves "Can I afford not to?"
