I go to my brother’s pastry shop and help him every weekend until the end of this month. Since I will go there today, let’s talk about a labor shortage briefly.
Why do they reject help?
Sometimes, we want to know the reason for things that look unreasonable.
One example I recently saw on the internet was that companies facing labor shortages reject applicants. That may look irrational to some people.
However, there is a reason: education is costly.
Today, I will explain the logic. This perspective shows you how to help people in need efficiently.
Educational cost
People in need often refuse our help. Despite its contradictory behavior, it has a reason: education is costly.
Although they want help, they lack the resources to teach others how to assist them. To teach someone, they have to secure another time and guide beginners step by step. In the case of a pastry shop, they have no time to teach how to cream the cake, mix the ingredients, or even clean the staff’s restroom.
That is one reason why they don’t want to hire people. Education requires costs.
A tactic to help people in need
That shows us how to help them. We can start with small, creative support.
For example, if a manager says they cannot have a decent lunch, we may be able to bring them one dish. In this case, we consider the form of the dish so that it doesn’t interfere with their work. It can be better to cook something that can be eaten with one hand. We can examine various aspects, such as temperature, shape, quantity, and disposing of food trays.
Our empathic and logical sense allows us to realize them and make the process enjoyable. It will be more delightful when it makes them pleased.
We will have feedback, which often includes appreciation. That tells us their situation a bit more. That leads to the next help.
The ability to predict is an aspect of learning potential. We can make various predictions based on their situations.
That is why people who are empathic and logical tend to contribute to the environment that is facing a labor shortage.
Conclusion
That is why people in need often refuse our help.
Since education costs, they cannot afford to teach how to help them.
We can start with small, creative help.
This perspective shows you how to help people in need efficiently.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
