Employees who are not motivated and work for themselves rather than for the holistic business objectives should not be hired. Training can be more oriented toward maintaining positive and effectual business culture. This positive business environment aids in increasing efficiency and motivation at minimal cost. The business can attract elite employees and reduce turnover by better incentivising their work through increased wage payments/benefits. When employees have a more substantial financial goal to work toward, they are more likely to put in more effort and be more committed. Chance of promotion and the ability to adopt new roles will also aid the business in maintaining staff, as employees will have greater goals to work toward.

The business is then able to run interviews, complete background checks, and think about who they want to take up their role. You will be more likely to employ better employees through paying and giving extras, DON'T PAY PEANUTS!!!! 
Once the person is selected that fits the role and will strive for greatness in their job, you will need to train and develop them in the way you want and to be the employee you are needing. 
The employee will then need to be managed and made sure they are the employee for the role given and that they are helping your business to succeed.
