So we are in mire and the politicians decide that now is great time for them to incentivise employers to create jobs.\u00a0 The promise of \u00a32500 if we take someone who has been unemployed for at least three months into employment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No doubt there would be some takers but, I suspect, not as many as they would hope.\u00a0 There are a group of business people who are always looking for ways in which government programmes can\u00a0be exploited.\u00a0 And usually they generate bad press as benefits intended for the ‘needy’ are used to prop up the profits of the ‘greedy’!<\/p>\n
Most of us recognise that our job is to create value for customers – not to create employment.\u00a0 That is not the responsibility of the entrepreneur.\u00a0 It maybe a very welcome by-product – but it is not a responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We should not be bribing entrepreneurs to create jobs.\u00a0 If the right people are available to create value, and the market is available then the\u00a0potential for profit will (and should) drive job creation.\u00a0 If an incentive of \u00a32500 is the thing that makes a difference between increasing payroll or not then one really has to question viability of the decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
